Over and Over Again No More

“Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.  Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do no go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.  For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the law but under grace.”   
Romans 6:11-13

Sin is a killer.  It will kill us twice: first, physically and second, spiritually.   The only way to escape sin is through Jesus.  Paul said that our earthly bodies will betray us over and over again if we allow our bent to sin to rule us.  When we present our bodies and ourselves to God, we become new creatures with a strong ally on our side – Jesus. 

Jesus is the antidote for the poison of sin.  Get to know Him.
