Understand this: as it relates to God's Word, you must listen carefully, don't say anything right away, and keep your emotions under control. Because getting angry at God's Word is not right. So, confess all of your sins daily and humbly receive the Word of God, submitting to it; even remembering it is the truth that has given you eternal life.
Romans 6 - observations as it relates to sin and the fight for purity
- Just because God forgives our sins, it doesn't mean we can then just willfully sin as we please, knowing we can be forgiven
- When we became Christians, we "died to sin". So now, in reality, we are to strive, daily, to live right before God, confessing our sins and setting them aside.
- There are no excuses. God promises that since we are in Christ, sin cannot rule over us.
- Sin brings death, but we have final victory, as believers, because of the free gift of Jesus Christ. Now, we need to live like His followers, fighting against temptation and doing what pleases Him.
