Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts. Roman 6:12

My brothers and sisters in Christ, sin is crouching at your door and mine; it desires to have us, but we must rule over it. We must consider ourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus; and, do not present our members as instruments of unrighteousness, but present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead and our members as instruments of righteousness. Scripture warns us, that, we are now aware of this, that to whom we present ourselves to obey, we become that one’s slave, whether sin leading to death or obedience leading to righteousness. But thanks be to God, that though we were slaves of sin, yet, we obeyed from the heart, that form of doctrine to which we were delivered, and having being set free from sin, we became slaves of righteousness. Praise the Lord; praise the Lord, sin shall not have dominion over us, for we are under God’s grace. Oh, glory be to God this morning!
