“Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin” (Romans 6:6 NLT).
As a child of God’s, sin has no power in my life, if I read the verse correctly.
As a believer in Christ’s saving grace, I am no longer a slave to sin, if I understood the meaning of this verse.
As a Bible-believing, blood-washed, faith-filled, sticking-with-God-no-matter-what kind of gal, who I was has died and I’m a new creation, according to the Scripture jumping off the page at me this morning.
Satan, sins, demons and temptations are powerless in my life. Unable. Incapable. Handcuffed. Helpless. Paralyzed. Weak. Hog-tied. Impotent.
What will I do with that knowledge? How will my living look different? What will I accomplish, defeat or rise above knowing what I know now? Knowing what He’s done for me through His crucifixion?
What will you do/be/achieve/accomplish?
