YOU ARE STRONGER THAN SIN
You are a Believer: there is no sin stronger than you because the dominion of sin has been broken and its reign terminated in your life.
Dear Believer,
Some say Christians are sinners saved by grace. But the truth is Christians are not sinners. We are saints saved by grace. Our life of sin has been lost in eternal forgetfulness. God does not remember our sins anymore. We are new creatures because we are in Christ!
Hebrews 10:17
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
However, we know that many Believers still struggle with sin after coming to Christ. They rise and fall, and rise and fall again.
Why?
One of the biggest reasons is that they do not understand the power they have over sin. When you got born again, the power of sin over you was broken. You could now make a choice to obey or disobey sin. The pronouncement of God’s Word is that “SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU…” – Romans 6:14. You are a Believer: there is no sin stronger than you because the dominion of sin has been broken and its reign terminated in your life.
Believer, do not accept the lie that you are a sinner.
Also, do not buy into the lie that you have to sin from time to time.
The greatest plague of the modern times is not AIDS, or polio or any physical or mental disease. The greatest plague today is of Christians who live in sin and excuse it. “Oh, I couldn’t help it.” “Oh, God understands.” “Oh, my flesh is weak, even God knew I tried…It was meant to be,” and other weak statements are made daily by Christians who have resigned themselves to carnality. But God’s word says you have the power to choose your master, sin or disobedience. “Sin unto death OR obedience unto righteousness.”
Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Also:
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,” (Rom 6 :12) speaks of responsibility. It is up to you, not God. He has given the power; you must recognize and use it. Stop making excuses.
Talk to your Father.
Thank You Father for giving me power over sin. The dominion of sin is broken in my life. I choose to obey God and live in righteousness. Satan will not control my life with ANY sin in the name of Jesus.
Have a great day!
Your friend,
Deon.
