If I ask you: ‘do you want sin to be DEAD in your life’? Hmm….What would be your response?YES!!! (I guess)!But…If I also tell you that henceforth, you must begin to live your life WITHOUT the ‘LAW’!!!Ah!What would be your response?NO!!! (I surely guess)!Hmm….
But it was you that said you want sin to be DEAD in your life! Now I gave you the Biblical solution….and I’m sure you are thinking I just taught you ‘heresy’!!! Lol! Pick your Bible and read with me the last statement in Romans 7:8
‘…for WITHOUT THE LAW,….SIN WAS DEAD’!!! (Romans 7:8)
Wow! Did you see that?
Now listen carefully: if sin must really be DEAD in your life, then you must move out of the LAW realm!
Hmm… It is a difficult but direct ‘Truth’!
Staying in the LAW = Living in SIN!
Listen: It is after you are able to digest all I just wrote above, that we can now talk about the next step to take! The first step is to leave the LAW realm! The next step is to move to the GRACE realm! Hmm…
‘For SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER you, because you are NOT UNDER LAW…but UNDER GRACE’! (Romans 6:14)
Look at the above verse carefully! I began this post by asking if you want sin to be dead in your life! (And you have seen that the answer is to live WITHOUT the LAW)!
Now my next question is this: Do you want to live a life in which SIN has NO DOMINION over you? I guess your answer is YES!Then the verse above says you should move from LAW to GRACE!
‘For SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER you, because you are NOT UNDER LAW…but UNDER GRACE’! (Romans 6:14)
Hmm….
Under Law: when you break just one LAW, you are punished as though you broke the whole LAW! (James 2:10)
But under GRACE: Jesus took your place in sin, and gave to you HIS OWN righteousness! This is the Righteousness God sees all the time!
Hear this: A revelation of this Righteousness would EMPOWER you to break loose from sinful addictions and fuel your love for God uncontrollably! Hmm… No wonder the GLORY of GRACE exceeds that of the LAW by far!
‘For if the ministration of CONDEMNATION (Law) be glory, MUCH MORE doth the ministration of RIGHTEOUSNESS (Grace) EXCEED in Glory’! (2Cor 3:9)
Which one do you prefer? The one (Law) that has glory…or…the one (Grace) that EXCEED in Glory? Hmm… Hallelujah!
Remember: ‘…without the LAW,…..Sin was DEAD…..but when the LAW came….Sin REVIVED…’! (Romans 7:8-9)
Stop reviving sin in your life! Sin is destructive…but…Grace is the Solution! Move to the GRACE realm!
Amen.
