Sin is a terrible master and it finds a willing servant in the human body. The body itself is not sinful , it is neutral. It can be controlled by sin or by God. But man’s fallen nature , which is not changed at conversion, gives sin a foothold from which it can attack and then control. Paul clearly expressed this problem when he said in
Romans 7:18 (NKJV) 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. A tremendous fact is introduced here: The old man( the old ego, self) was crucified with Christ so that the body need not be controlled by sin. The phrase “ that the body of sin might be done away with” means rendered inactive, made of no effect.

A world that we are living in is filled with different temptations that will put our honesty and faith to test. We should be firm with the value and truth that we know and in this way we can assure that our life will be filled with blessings. I know that the it is hard to resist the temptation and to pray is one of the most important defense that we can have in this life. A necessary act that will help us to stay longer in this life because a life that is in the right way will reap rewards from the Lord. Leave a Reply. |
