“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV
Jesus became sin for me, so that I could be free from it’s power. We all sin in many ways: in word or deed, however, when we confess our sin to Him we are set free.
If I know Jesus has made me righteous (without sin) then I do not need to stay under it’s control. I do not need to yield to it’s power. Satan lies to us and tells us we are guilty of sin just because he plants an idea in our minds. However, we only sin when we act on Satan’s idea. He does this regularly in relationships, he suggests our family, friends and colleagues are doing selfish things to us and proposes we become offended. We only sin when we act on his suggestions.
Know we have an enemy who prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Tel him to get lost. Amen!
Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world! 1 John 4;4. Rely on the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and direction. Amen!
