I believe we all have had or still have that one sin that drags us down and beats us to pulp. We let it control our lives, how we think and act. We let addictions to pornography, gossip, and alcohol dictate how much time we spend with Jesus. We know what we are doing is wrong but for some reason our sin has a hold on us. We have become slaves to that sin.
I have GREAT news for you, check this out!:
"Sin is NO LONGER YOUR MASTER, for you no longer live under requirements of the law. Instead, you live in the freedom of God's grace."
Romans 6:14(NLT)
As a Christian, a Christ follower, SIN is no longer your MASTER! This is good stuff! Sin can no longer control what you think, what you eat, where you go, what you look at, or who you hang out with. Sin has no hold over you!
Now, brother/sister, Jesus is our Master. He has bore all our dirty sin and nailed it to the cross. This should get you pumped! We are freed from our sin and now slaves to Jesus, the greatest master, the Kings of kings!
Even though we are sinners and totally do not deserve it, God gave us His gift of grace to live in. So lets not be slaves to our sin. Look to the Word to bring you out of your temptation and bask in God's grace daily!
What are you struggling with as a Christian? Have you realized Jesus freed you from that? Go to Him in prayer and ask forgiveness. Then memorize scriptures that will help you to overcome the next time you are tempted. BASK IN HIS GRACE, AND MERCY, AND LOVE!
