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.
