Alive to God


“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 not 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.”

Romans 6:11-13

When we accept Jesus as Lord, Master and Savior, we become new people in Christ.  We are no longer bound by sin, but we are free to live righteous lives.

If we have difficulty breaking away from addictive behaviors, we can seek help.  There are groups which can help us.  Alcoholics Anonymous or similar programs offer support to those who are recovering from addictions. 

We can trust God that when He calls us and we come to Him, He will not leave us alone in our struggles against sin.
