DELIVERED FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DELIVERED FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN

A. The Law Of The Sin Life -

The lost sinner is under the control of three masters. They are: the flesh, the world and the devil, Eph. 2:1-3.

Any person who has never trusted Jesus as his Savior is not in control of his own life, but is being controlled by these three evil influences.

Of course, lives are affected in different ways. Some lost sinners are led into lives of unspeakable wickedness and evil. Others are church members and good, upstanding citizens. Yet, they are all lost and headed to the same hell! This is a wretched existence! Yet, it is an existence shared by billions around the world!

B. The Law Of The Spirit Life -

When Jesus comes into a life, He changes everything! Now, in Him, and by the power of His Spirit, we are given the ability to stand against those three terrible enemies of the soul!
We are delivered from their bondage and are allowed to live a new life in Jesus Christ. This is the lesson we learned from Paul in Romans 6:6-7; 11-14; 17-18.

It is a glorious truth, but one that few believe, we have indeed been delivered from the slavery of sin. We have, in Jesus, been given the tools we need to live a holy life for His glory!
For us, the secret is in using the tools He has given us and in learning to say no to sin, but yes to the Spirit!

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LET YOUR NAME DELIVER ME FROM MY STATE OF BONDAGE IN JESUS NAME.
