hello guys ((: i hope you guys have had a good week !
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
Romans 6:1-2
Cell, you guys are dead to sin ! what does dead to sin mean ? dead to sin means you're no more under sin ! and you cant be under sin, and under righteousness. you're EITHER under sin, or under righteousness ! its like, you're either a man, or you're not ! you're either a chicken, or you're not ! i know some of you might say "but how can you say we're not under sin ? we still sin everyday !"
You see guys, the cross removed the power of sin over your lives, thus you're dead to sin. lets say you're in your school now, and once you graduate, you're no more under the school's rules ! you dont need to wear their uniform, dont need to greet the teachers, dont need to follow any timetable ! and its the same thing ! because of Christ's work on the cross, your sins died with Jesus Christ ! He spent 3 days in hell, and then overcame sin by resurrecting from the dead. thus your sins are all JUDGED in the body of Christ. your sins 10 years ago, yesterday, today, tomorrow, 10 years from now, any sin you commit , its been judged. Thats how good our Lord Jesus Christ is.
BUT NOW, all of us, you and me, are under righteousness. The cross removed the power of sin over your life, but it does not remove the ability to sin. so it does not mean after you're a christian, you'll never commit sins again ! but what it means is that, no matter whatever sins you commit, no many how many countless times you sin, the sin shall NEVER have any power over your life. God still loves you the same, no matter how many times you sin. No more, No less. So though you may sin, you're not living in sin ! Living means lifestyle ! sin isnt your lifestyle ! its like, i dont like to play basketball. but i play it once in a while, like once in a month. basketball isnt my lifestyle ! but my lifestyle is sleeping ! cause i continuously do it ! and thus its the same. you may sin once of twice, but you're not living in sin, you're living in Jesus Christ.
Meditate on Romans 6 guys ! it'll bless you greatly. ((:
