"No one who has become part of God's family makes a practice of sinning, for Christ, God's Son, holds him securely, and the devil cannot get his hands on him. We know that we are children of God and that all the rest of the world around us is under Satan's power and control." (1 John 5:18-19 TLB) Having been justified, we are saved immediately from the penalty of sin. In sanctification, we are being saving continually from the power of sin. Until glorification, where we will be saved from the very presence of sin, we must do our part not to chose to sin! The finish work of Christ at Calvary dealt with our sin problem. Let that work stand!
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for dealing with the sin issue for us! Help us to make the right choices and to walk in the righteousness you have provided. Amen!
2 Cor 5:20-21. . . . God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. NIV
