You wish you never sinned, in your heart your greatest desire is to never sin, but so often you find yourself in sin. So often you mess up, and you know that every time you sin, you can go to God in repentance, and receive grace. But don’t you wish you could stop sinning? Well obviously no one can ever be completely free from sin, this side of glory. There is something however, that Scripture reminds us off that will help us put to death that sin that lives in us.

Before we dig into what Scripture tells us on how we can kill sin in our lives, we need to remind ourselves of one thing. When we choose to sin, we are making ourselves a slave to that sin, we are obedient to it rather than God. That is what sin is…

Romans 6v14 says:

“For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”

Here it is, here is our motivation to kill the sin in our lives. This is great news; Sin doesn’t have to have dominion over you! Dance, and celebrate, this is amazing! We can please God more often, with this, we can be more joyful with this. This is what can help us in killing sin in our lives.

Why shouldn’t we sin? Because we are not under law, but because we are under grace! Do you see how huge this is? The reason that you don’t look with lust is not because there is a rule that says you mustn’t, but because you live under the grace of God. The reason the we don’t discriminate, is not because the Bible tells us not to, but because God didn’t discriminate against us, He showed us grace. The reason that we shouldn’t sin, is not because there is a rule saying we shouldn’t, but because we live under the grace of God. Christian, you are not under law you are under grace. The reason that we desire to keep God’s moral law, is not because it is a law, but because we are under His grace…

Remember this when you are about to sin, when God provides a way out for you before you sin, take it, not because you’re going to be breaking a rule by sinning, but because you will be abusing His grace by sinning!

His grace is given us freely, but Christ paid a dear price for it on your behalf. Praise God!

Romans 6v14:

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Sin in your life is not something that should be taken lightly. It is, plain and simple, a slap in the face of the Saviour who loves you. The saddest part is that most Christians believe that they cannot escape this sin that traps them in a lifestyle of guilt. The truth is that Christ died so that we could live in Him and not in sin.

Romans 6: 7-14

Because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

Sin has a way of blinding us from the hope that we have found in God. We need to make a decision to remind ourselves constanty that we are saved by Christ and that sin has no hold on us! When we truely believe this we will approach sin differently. Our approach will not be of shame and defeat (which leads to submission to the temptation) but rather of faith and hope in a God who has already conquered sin!

Remember that you are under grace and all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to you through Christ Jesus (Matthew 28).

In order to grow spiritually we need to be courageous enough to stand up against the sin that holds us back and see it for what is really is. Our sinful thoughts and actions keep us from living a life of JOY in Jesus Christ

Remember Jeremiah 29: 11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”

Victory over sin allows us to move forward in our relationship with our loving Father.  Knowing Jesus Christ is the key to joy, life and a new beginning.
