Text: Romans 6:15-16
Sin no longer has a hold on us. Jesus Christ paid the price and He defeated sin. Because of the price He paid, we have power over sin. If you’ve given your life over to Jesus, you have new life today! Before we knew who Jesus was and what He’s done for us, we were in sin and our bodies were weapons for satan. We did things that were distructive, ungodly, unclean, and unholy. But, Praise be to God, by the blood of Jesus, we have been justified and made holy. . .just as if we’ve never sinned! We are no longer instruments for satan, but instruments for God’s glory. Satan will always tempt us, but we must be careful, watchful, and in the Word of God, or we will find ourselves back in the devil’s claws. Once we know the Truth, we cannot have the mindset that we can disobey God and He’ll forgive us. It doesn’t work that way. God knows our hearts and our motives. Yes, sometimes we fall, but it can’t be a continual thing. God has gven us the remedy for sin. . .His Son, Jesus! We don’t have to live in sin anymore. We can be lead by the Holy Spirit, trust in the works of the Holy Spirit, and submit to the Holy Spirit. We can live victoriously! We cannot serve two masters. Who are you going to serve? Who will you obey?
