People think that sin makes you bad. With that, they will measure how much better they are than another person because there are sins that person commits that they don’t. In other words, they are “more good.”

Well how about this, sin doesn’t make you bad it makes you dead. The bible says that the wages of sin is death, a spiritual death, a separation from God and an eternity outside of heaven.

When you sin or find sin in your life, it’s honestly your flesh doing its natural behavior. The bible says the flesh has sinful passions, is weak, sows into itself and opposes the Spirit, along with many other things.

So I’m here to challenge you today to choose more life. Instead of thinking you are bad, which is easy to do because we know the negative weight of sin, choose the opposite of death and choose life. Make more choices, say more things, adjust your thoughts and cleanse your heart towards life and spiritual sustaining practices.

Knowing Jesus and reading the truth about the power you possess through Him can help you make those choices and changes. For example, read about how you are an overcomer [1 John 5:4] and that with Jesus’ precious blood, He purchased your ability to say “no” to sin [1 Corinthians 15:56-57].

As you know Him more you’ll adopt a “His will and not mine” attitude. Grow in Jesus, be led by the Spirit, learn the truth from the bible, pray in faith and watch how much more resistant you become to temptation and how you will begin to reflect God’s sinless character.

See you next week!
