“What
shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid!”
Romans 6:1-2
Throughout church history many
groups have come along and stated quite boldly, that since Christ has died for
our sins, it doesn’t matter how many more we commit. In fact, we prove his love
daily by committing even more than yesterday. That may amaze some people, but
it is a fact that there have been, and are today, groups that teach that lie.
Their problem is that they have
neglected to read their Bible. Claiming grace while living in deliberate sin
makes a mockery of the confession of faith. When we are saved the Holy Spirit
now dwells within, and he hates sin. He is moving us to “live righteously and godly in this present age”. It is not that we
won’t sin; it is that we will not want to live in sin. Daily we will want to
become more like our betrothed Husband, Jesus Christ, and imitate His life,
which was sinless.
Dear
Father, guide me today to be more like Jesus and less like the devil. Amen.
