Romans 6:1-2
“What shall we say
then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall
we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
Wow!!! What strong
words for God's children. Often times we forget that even though we are under
God's grace we are still sinners. We still have the lust of the flesh and the
pride of life within us. Yes, our Lord died and shed His blood so that we could
have eternal life and to be free from sin. But we are still living in this old
sinful world with all it's temptations. And satan uses those temptations to
draw us away from our Lord and ruin our witness for our Lord.
We must remember
that though we are no longer bound by the death grip of our sins we still
commit sins. God's grace does not keep us from sinning but it keeps us from
dying an eternal death in those sins. God's grace keeps us from God's wrath on
those who are not His. Our God is merciful in that He promised us that He would
never leave us. He will be there whenever we decide to follow Him rather than
follow ourselves.
Sin is selfishness.
It is following what we want rather that what God wants. And remember when it
is His time He will pull us out of that sin and use us however He wills. As our
Heavenly Father, the pulling us out of our sin will not be pleasant. As a
parent spanks their child to correct them for their disobedience so does our
Heavenly Father jerk us up by the nap of the neck and spank us for not
following what He has commanded.
What love our God
has for His children!!! So much so that even though we fall deeper and deeper
into sin He still loves us and loves us enough to correct us and to show us the
way He would have us to go.
A love so strong we cannot refuse it nor run
from it when He is ready for us to do His bidding.
Praise God for His
everlasting love!!! Praise God for His grace and mercy towards us even when we
fail Him over and over again. O Christian, stop living in the sin of this
world. Stop following the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Seek the
face of our Lord and Savior. Fall on your knees in the presence of our Heavenly
Father. Beg Him for forgiveness for your sins. Then ask Him to give you
forgiveness for yourself and those around you.
O lost person, if
the Holy Spirit is convicting you of your sins. If He is causing you to see the
wickedness of your ways. Follow Him. Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ and be saved!!!
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
