“The Power Over Sin”

“The Power Over Sin”

 

When Christ died, He died once to break the power of sin.  But now that He lives, He lives for the Glory of God.    Romans 6:10

 

As we approach RESURRECTION DAY known as EASTER, for some, we are focused on what the Word of God tells us about the IMPORTANCE of RESURRECTION DAY.  And what it means for ALL mankind.  For those who are TRUE BELIEVERS it is truly a manifestation of God’s AMAZING GRACE.  GRACE is RECEIVING what we DON’T DESERVE.  And we, in our SINFUL NATURE, definitely do NOT DESERVE God’s GRACE, which is:  Spending ALL of ETERNITY in Heaven, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and ESCAPING an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  

 

The Bible tells us that JESUS CHRIST, gave HIS life to SAVE our WRETCHED SOULS, from that ETERNITY in HELL.  When JESUS died, He DIED ONCE for ALL, which BREAKS the POWER that SIN has OVER us, and it REMOVES any POWER that SIN has over us.  Our problem is where our eyes are FOCUSED, we sometimes take our EYES off of the CROSS, and start drifting BACK, when we NEED to be FOCUSED on the CROSS. And STAY AWAY FROM our OLD SINFUL LIFESTYLE.  

 

Jesus was RESURRECTED (raised) from DEATH and the GRAVE, which is PROOF that He has POWER OVER SIN and DEATH (spiritual), and they NO LONGER RULE.    When He DIED, He DIED ONCE to break the POWER of SIN.  And NOW that He LIVES, He LIVES for the GLORY of GOD.  So, you also SHOULD consider yourself to be DEAD to the POWER of SIN and ALIVE to God through CHRIST JESUS, God’s ONE and ONLY SON.

 

And HOW do you do that?  First, you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL from the POWER of SIN that RULES OVER YOU.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE. And TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION because when we DIED with Christ, we were SET FREE from the POWER of SIN. And we have an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
