EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE

In every act of sin we commit, it is an outright rebellion against God. But there is a way to not remain…

I am one who tried to soften my sin at a time when I was lying to myself and living a hypocritical life. Many try to soften their sin by believing their sin is “small.” (Smaller than anothers.) Doing so, we are deceiving ourselves. This lie comes from the father of every lie, even the way we see it as a “tiny white lie.”

“For God sees everything you do, and His eyes are wide open as He observes every single habit you have. Beware that your sins don’t overtake you, and the scars of your own conscience become the ropes that tie you up.” ( Proverbs 6:21-22)

This is a serious concern we should look into, and please do not minimize sin. We must be aware of the enemy who seeks to devour us with his lies.

Get rid of the sin that so easily trips you up!

God’s grace is greater than any sin you commit, big or small, and He is ready to forgive them all. If you are a child of God, you are not a slave to sin. You have been set free through Jesus Christ.

By God’s grace, through the finished work of Christ on the cross, you can have victory over the tiniest sin you think you’re doing or the biggest sin you can’t seem to get beyond.

“My old identity has become crucified with Messiah and no longer lives, for the nails of His cross crucified me with Him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me – we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that He gave Himself for me and dispenses His life into mine.”

This is so unbelievable! Read on…

“So that is why I don’t view God’s grace as something minor or peripheral. For if keeping the law could release God’s righteousness to us, the Anointed One would have died for nothing. (Galatians 2:20-21)

Confess the so called “small sins.” Christ died for them. Tempers, anger, control, lies, bitterness, unforgiveness, laziness, etc…they are just as bad as what we label as big ones! God loves you and opens His arms wide to forgive you for any and all of them.
