” So, we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God’s good commands for its own evil purposes.” Romans 7:13
” Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 7: 24 & 25
We are all born into sin and death. Without the help of our great God in heaven we have no chance. Sin was born and lives in each of us through Adam and Eve who disobeyed God’s very command. We want to do good, but we do bad things instead. We don’t want to do evil, but we seem to do it anyway. As we take a step back and analyze ourselves, we can see that we are all too human. We are all slaves to sin as we were born into this world as sinners. Often times we know that what we are doing is wrong and we will even confess that it is wrong. But we do it anyway. It is in our nature. We are miserable people who commit and do things that are against the will of God and do them with the knowledge that it is wrong. WOW, what a situation. There is only one answer to this problem. There is one person who has the ability to overcome our issues. That person is Jesus Christ. You see, God recognizes that we battle with good and evil every day. He didn’t just put his plan into place for us to squander our opportunities and keep going down the wrong road. No, He recognizes the war going on inside each of us but offers us an opportunity to be saved from this quandary. He sent Jesus, to not take the sin away, but to save us from the sin. We will always have the battles within. We will always make stupid mistakes and wonder why in the world we make such crazy decisions. However, Jesus has come to take our sins upon himself so that you and I can live. He offers us forgiveness if we truly repent and ask for it. Sin is still out there for the taking. We still have that sinful nature living inside us. We are not perfect and never will be. We will continue to squander opportunities and do things that go against the ways of God, but if we just stop, go to Him, and plead our case he will resolve our issues immediately. It is so simple, yet so hard. We have to have strong faith in order to survive. We have to be humble and not fearful of what others say or think of us. Jesus has come to save us from ourselves. He has come to forgive us of our sins and never get tired of doing it! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
