"For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace." -Romans 6:14 (NIV)
When we think of a lawless society, we probably think of all of the problems that could occur. We are used to laws, rules, or common courtesies that help guide our interactions and the functioning of society. While we think of laws as beneficial in this way, sometimes we violate laws and must deal with limitations and consequences of our actions.
God has established laws that guide our lives. Unfortunately, sin is a part of the world and can cause us to break these laws and not reach the glory of God. The consequence of sin is death. This can be scary if we allow sin to become the ruler in our lives, but the Good News is that we don't have to allow sin to be our master! The sacrifice of Jesus Christ and our redemption through Him allow us to avoid the consequences of sin. We can be freed in the grace of God. We can move beyond the consequence of death and choose to pursue a higher calling by following God's will in our lives!
God provides a path to redemption that frees you from the consequences of sin!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for saving me from my sin. Help me to always stay focused on You and Your will, leaving behind my sinful nature. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
