Life in the Spirit
Romans 6:12-14
12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. 14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
When we are controlled by sin, we do things because it is all we know, we rarely make the choice ourselves. We were born into sin and without Jesus, sin would be all we would ever know. But since Jesus paid the price for our sin, we have the ability to be under grace. This means when Jesus allows us to live this life to the fullest with Him. We live as dead to sin and alive in the freedom Christ gives us.
Challenge: Read Romans 6. Take time today and thank God for the freedom of grace that is in Christ.
