The Lines Are Drawn

"Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God's grace."
(Romans 6:14)
The word "sin" appears in the book of Romans more than 40 times.
Of which, only once it's presented as a verb.
The rest of the time, it's a noun.

See, sometimes,
we try too hard to break away from a certain addiction,
a certain bad habit.
And many time, we fail.

Well, that's because we're look at things from the wrong perspective, isn't it?
Jesus didn't die to sinful actions.
Because He had none.

What he did conquer, as much greater.
He died, to the imputation of sin.
The condemnation of sin, had to be imputed to Him,
because He had nothing to be condemned for!

And that's key to breaking lose the chains of your bad habits, beloved.
Knowing Jesus had suffered your condemnation,
so you need not be condemn.

And to the woman caught in adultery,
He told her He didn't condemn her,
before asking her to sin no more.

True freedom from sin,
is knowing that Daddy God still loves you even when you sin,
and out of His love for you, you choose not to sin.

And This Message, Glorifies Jesus.
