The gift of grace part 2...

Romans 6:12-15 NKJV

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

Shalom! Day #356. Do you know that your body, mind and soul belongs to God? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for allowing our body, mind and soul in partaking in the sinful nature of our fleshy desires. Let us not be given into lust but in every way to honor You by giving ourselves as a holy and living sacrifice unto You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

The power of Christ's resurrection have defeated the devil and sin, and death has been conquered and life is given! We who have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior must allow the power of His resurrection to work in our lives so that sin will no longer reign in our mortal body and that we should obey it in it's lustful desires. We live In a sin filled world. In this sinful world, as we walk through our lives, there may be temptations. The sinful nature will be against the godly nature. How will you or how do you overcome it?

1. Give yourself to the Lord.
⊙ when you yield yourself to the Lord, you shall see victory.

- yield to God and resist the devil. Open up your heart to God and allow God to close the doors of sinful pathways. Present your body as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing unto the Lord. Present yourself unto the Lord as being alive from the dead.

2. You have dominian over sin.
⊙ sin has been defeated and it has no power over you

- if you realize one thing, the moment you've accepted Christ into your life as Lord and Savior, that very moment to you have been given all power and authority of God to bind and loose, to cast out demons and heal the sick. When you have realize the weight that the power of His resurrection carries, your life will never be under the dominion of the devil and be bound by sins, but be set free and live a victorious Christian life. This, again, only works when you are willing to allow the resurrection power of Christ to set you free.

The gift of His grace is for all, not just for one. Always remember this, that it's not about how good you are and so on so that God wanted to die for you, but it's because of His unexplainable love and grace towards us, that He gave His only Son to die in our place. His grace is not our license to sin, but to live freely not be bound by sin anymore!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
