I must stop resuscitating sin already declared dead. Too
often I find myself trying to keep alive something God sentenced to death.
Romans 6:11 urges: “count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ
Jesus.
In Christ, the power of sin is broken. It can’t condemn or
dominate anymore. It only has the control we give it. Your struggle may be with
over-reacting, over-indulging, over-spending. You may be overwhelmed with fear,
self-pity, worry, bitterness, or lust. You might allow some habit, hunger for
approval, root of pride, or secret sin to stay alive.
Count yourself dead to that.
