We are no longer slaves to sin, but to YOU! how awesome is that??!! And the only way to change ownership is through You. Thank you for that gift. It's a GIFT. We should not abuse it, but it's a GIFT! it's freeeeEEEEEE! hahaha.
I have so much freedom, right here, right now. I am not a slave to sin. I am not a slave to procrastination or self-interest. It's all put to death. Sometimes I follow the sin anyway because I want to, but ultimately I come back, because it's put to death, and now I live, a slave to God. Which is, in fact, freedom.
Love,
So we just found out that when sin increases, so does grace! Which is awesome!
Romans 6
But now we have died to sin, so we can't go on sinning. So it shouldn't be something you just keep doing because grace increases with it. We have died with Jesus and now we live with Jesus in righteousness.
Are you getting this? Our old selves were CRUFICIFED! They are done away with! We are no longer slaves to sin. Sometimes I feel like Satan is having too much fun kicking me around and messing with me, but it says here that we are no longer slaves to sin. We can walk away from sin. We have power to do the right thing!
V 10: The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. AWESOME VERSE!!
SIN SHALL NOT BE MY MASTER. GOD is Lord over me. He can tell us to not let sin reign in our lives because it's possible! Actually, he tells us to not let sin reign in us, even though it's impossible, and then he empowers us to do it in His strength and timing, not ours. Just to prove how awesome He is. :-)
We are going to be slaves of something, either of sin, or of righteousness. Which one do you want to be your master? One gives you stuff that is easy, but ultimately leads to an unfulfilled life and death, while the other is HARD, but ultimately leads to a satisfied and eternal life.
Verse 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ANOTHER AWESOME VERSE!
Can you tell I like CAPS??!!
