Our sins are paid for by the blood of Christ. We are cleansed from those past sins by HIS blood.
Then we are recreated in Christ The Word, over and over throughout our entire life, each time the Holy Spirit brings us The Word which is Jesus, and we choose to do THAT Word.
***
It is a simple life.
Following the Spirit of God who lives in us, paying attention when HE puts The Word into our mind, following The Word in the issues pertaining to this present life.
***
Psalm 23 The Lord (The Word) is my shepherd; I shall not want.
John 10:10 Jesus says: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (The Word) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
The Holy Spirit of God brings to our mind The Word showing us what to do. We do The Word given us by God's Spirit. We are led by The Word into areas which bless our body and our soul and we have a more abundant life each time we follow The Word given us by God.
***
God knows exactly what we need at any given point in time and in any circumstance of life.
By HIS Spirit, God brings what we need to our mind.
We simply do it.
***
Certainly our flesh and the flesh of other people try to lead us. Devils try to lead us to destruction.
But we who know the voice of God will not follow the others. They lead us into destruction, usually by areas of various fleshly desires.
Jesus said the sheep know HIS voice and they follow HIM.
John 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
***
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
***
Even as a new Christian, there are times humans will try to get us to do something but we are uncomfortable, shying away, sort of like a sheep that doesn't feel right about "that voice".
God is always keeping us and protecting us by putting in our heart the "right thing" the "right way" that we can avoid that which would harm us.

Here is a remarkable story of the power of God to protect:
This happened to Pam Padgett and is reported in her own words.
My older sister had been at college two years when I started attending the same school. She dated a man who was a member of a fraternity, and she had become a member of the fraternity's "women's auxiliary", assisting with fraternity social functions. She was very excited for me to join the social circles she was in, and especially wanted me to meet members of the fraternity.
The first week of school my sister invited me to go to a student bar where many of the fraternity guys gathered on Thursday nights. I went, but found what was going on there to be so bad (lewdness, drunkenness, etc.) that I was unable to stay and I walked back to the dormitory.
A week or so later my sister asked if I'd go to an outdoor luau with one of the freshmen "pledges" at the fraternity. The luau site was about 20 miles away near a river, and there would be a campfire. The setting was very appealing to me, plus I was excited about having a date, and I agreed to go.
Then, a few days before the luau, my sister told me that arrangements had been made for one of the other fraternity guys to take me to the luau because my date would be spending the day at the luau site building a hut for us ... a young man I had never even met was building a hut "for us"!
Suddenly the reality of this luau became very clear to me. This was not going to be people sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows. The lewdness and drunkenness I had seen at the student bar was probably mild compared to what would be going on at this luau ... and I wouldn't be able to walk home.
I told my sister that I couldn't go along with this and did not want to go, but she kept insisting that it was too late for me to back out, that it was too late for this guy to find another date.
I turned very strongly to God, asking Him to somehow get me out of this situation. There seemed no way out.
At one point I asked God to let me have appendicitis, preferring to be in a hospital having surgery than to go to this luau.
The morning of the luau I woke up and checked to see if I might have any pain that would indicate appendicitis, and was disappointed that I felt fine. I kept praying for God to somehow work this out. Time was really running out! When I looked outside, it was raining a little, but not much. However, the rain became heavier and heavier as the day went on.
Around 2 pm I received a call from the fraternity guy who planned to take me to the luau site. He told me how sorry he was to have to tell me this, but the luau had to be cancelled.
The luau site had been totally flooded, washing away all the huts that had been built, which would include the hut my date had built for us.
He told me how long the luau had been held at this same site (many years) and, although there had been rain at times in the past, nothing like this had ever happened before, flooding and causing the luau to be cancelled.
I rejoiced, knowing that God had delivered me.
