This is a Fight
There's a topic we don't often hear about in the church today--- sin. To many in our culture, the word sin is like a prehistoric term. They put sin and dinosaurs in the same category. But the Bible tells us that sin has separated humanity from GOD. Sin looks like this: GOD is moving in one direction, and we are going in another. It creates a break in the relationship. That's what happened with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, and that's what we're battling with today.
In Genesis 4:7 we read, "Sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you master it." Sin is a power, and it is being projected onto you and me. The enemy is trying to lead us away from GOD by enticing us to make wrong choices, develop wrong attitudes, think wrong thoughts, and live in rebellion. And the outcome is always the same. Sin brings isolation, accusation, shame, and finally death, because it leads to separation from GOD. Yes, church we're in a fight!
This is why Paul said sin is not to be our master. Some people think they're supposed to yield to whatever they feel because they think their identity is defined by their feelings. But this is not true. GODS Word defines how we should live. We've been called to repent of sin, return to the Creator and live according to GODS Word. But we don't have to do it alone. We do it through GODS grace. If we have a Yes in our hearts, if we strive to overcome sin, GOD is going to meet us and help us, and we will overcome!
Beloved, it won't happen overnight but if you're committed to putting GODS Word into practice in your life, you will enjoy the fruit of everlasting life forever and ever! You see, the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of GOD and the reward of walking by the Spirit is everlasting life and peace. Yeshua is Love don't you forget that, Amen. GOD bless.
