Apart From A Fallen World

Rom 6:14-20
14For (W)sin shall not (X)be master over you, for (Y)you are not under law but (Z)under grace.

15What then? (AA)Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? (AB)May it never be!

16Do you not (AC)know that when you present yourselves to someone as (AD)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of (AE)sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

17But (AF)thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that (AG)form of teaching to which you were committed,

18and having been (AH)freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

19(AI)I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh For just (AJ)as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

20For (AK)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.


After reading this verse, it shows that the world is a broken world, and the norm for it is sin. This world that we live in is full of things that the Holy Lord, our God, does not like. It is unholy in His eyes. As we come to Him and turn from this world, we are turning away from our old self, from our sins, and coming to righteousness, to Him.

As I turn from my sins, I do not live in this world, but I reside in it. I must turn from the world that has so much sin in it and consecrate my life from the sins of this world.

Father God, I thank you so much for when your Son, Christ Jesus, died on that cross, you gave this broken world a chance to live in righteousness. Lord, I thank you for your blood, because it is the only thing that lets me come to know you. Lord, I pray that I may set myself apart from this sinful world and be Holy in your Name, only by your grace. I thank you for what you have done. I pray that I may show others how great your grace is by shining into others' lives. I give you all the glory and give you all the praise in Jesus name.
Amen.
