OVERCOMING SIN
Romans 6:5-18
Devotional:- “For sin shall no longer be your master, because
you are not under the law, but under grace” (V.14) NIV
Many today are struggling to overcome sin in their lives. We also have many others who willingly submit
to the rulership of sin regularly. But the truth is that many know the evil and
wicked consequences of sin. For example, we all know that fornicating around
endangers our health and mind (Proverbs 6:26). Also, every bad habit intends to
make us a failure. Yet many will not stop committing them and so many lives and
destinies have been destroyed.
If a man will ever overcome the power of sin, he needs to realize the
love God has for him. There is a need for us to know that God loves us though
he hates our sins. If we repent of our sins, He will forgive us. He is not
interested in the death of a sinner but that he repents and be saved (Ezekiel
18:23). Sin brings us under condemnation and fear but the love of God sets us
free from the bondage of sin (1 John 4:18).
We also need to know that Jesus came to set us free from the power of sin
and death. He destroyed the power of sin on the cross of Calvary. So, sin has
no power to force us to obey it anymore. The throne of sin is destroyed and the
grace of righteousness of God reigns over our lives. So, the power to say NO is
given to us.
You will realize that when you sin as a believer, you willingly do it,
not as if you can’t control yourself. So is every genuinely saved believer.
Don’t let that sin destroy your health and success. Refuse it, glorious destiny
awaits you. Don’t exchange it with sin. You have authority over sin, it will
not see your end but you will see its end in Jesus name.
PRAYER: LORD, THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU’VE
MADE ME STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME SIN.
