TEXT:
Romans 6:15-23
TOPIC:
WHO RULES YOUR LIFE?
Someone
might misunderstand the place of grace in the life of the believer and conclude
that since we do not have anything to contribute to our salvation, it will be
normal to continue in sin. So Paul declared that, that is not correct at all.
He
used the analogy of the slave-master relationship, a concept they understood
better than the 21st Century believer, to make this point.
The
idea is that since we have now accepted Jesus Christ as Our Saviour, it is only
appropriate that we surrender to His instructions as a slave does to his or her
master because believers "have been
set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness" (vs 18). The
life each of us lives depicts who rules and controls our lives.
It's
sad to see the lives of members of the church who claim to be followers of
Christ being controlled by sin and rebellion against God.
QUESTION: Does
your life corroborate the faith you profess in Christ?
PRAYER: Spend
time in more prayers and allow your response to the above question guide what
you say to God.
Remain
Blessed
