And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24



Everyone who belongs to Christ has died with Christ on the cross. They’ve tacked their sins on that cross and walked away from the destruction sin and darkness brings. A Christian knows what sin is and heeds the Holy Spirit’s promoting when He convicts us as we near danger or when we’ve crossed the threshold of disobedience.



Victory over temptation and sin has to start within the heart. Unless you condition the heart to follow after the ways of God, your battle with sin will be much stronger. You must decide that God’s ways are greater and better than that of the world. For as a child of God you’ve overcome the world. “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4



If you are like the average person, there is a sin that you struggle with on a frequent basis. Begin today by releasing it to God and trust that what you give up to follow in obedience is the greater gain because God blesses those who follow in obedience. Your sins are forgiven through Christ blood, the victory has been won, so turn away from the battle and find blessings in your righteous walk with the Lord. God bless!
