Victory Over Sin

Rom 6:11-14
11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. 14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

Paul here is showing that Jesus Christ has died for us, even when we are already sinners, and has overcome sin for us, so that we may live. He is saying that we have overcome sin through the death of Jesus Christ, so we should not let our fleshly desire give in to sin.

As Christians, we are people who have died to our old selves. We no longer have to worry about our sins because Jesus has died to it for us on the cross. He has overcome sin and we now are living through Him. So now, why do we want to go back to sin when Jesus has already given us Victory over it?

Father God, I thank you for your love for us, for your Son Christ Jesus, that he has died for us on the cross so that we may live. Lord, let us die to ourselves and live in you. Let us not be tempted by ourselves and our sin because through Christ Jesus we have Victory to sin. I thank you for all this and I give you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
