Today's Verse: Romans 6:14 (KJV)

Saturday, September 14, 2013

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:14 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

As we called on Jesus name in baptism and trusted him to be our Savior, we died to sin. In this death, we die to dying and pass from death to life because of our faith in Jesus and in God's power (John 5:24; Col. 2:12). Our life is joined to Jesus, and his glorious future becomes our own (Col. 3:1-4). We are not under law, but grace. Let's respond to the gift of grace with passion and with zeal to be holy. Let's open ourselves to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, who changes us to be like Jesus (2 Cor. 3:18). We are grace-children. We are not in bondage to sin, but liberated by grace to be all that God has made us to be - his craftmanship (Eph. 2:1-10). Sin will not be our master!

My Prayer...

Purify my heart, dear Lord and Father, and make it new and alive to your grace and dead to the sin that once entangled me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
