WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN

THE WORD, YOUR VICTORY!! 

 DAILY DEVOTION TO GROWTH


What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:1 


It’s possible to overcome sin, but we can’t do it on our own. We need God’s help. “But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:15).


Thoughts on Today's Verse: 

Grace doesn't make us careless about sin. When we gave our lives over to Christ as Lord, we stopped being sinful. We don't want sin or its power to be in charge of our lives. We don't want to forget how much Jesus had to suffer to pay for our sins. Paul says things as strongly as he can ("By no means!" is a much too mild translation: "God forbid!" "Impossible to imagine!" or "Horrible!" would be much better.) As people who have been saved by God's grace, we know that sin is more than just breaking a rule. 


1 John 1:7 KJV

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all. 

Jesus died for our sins 


Sin is putting Jesus' love for us in a bad light by choosing our sin over what he did for us. Sin is turning your back on the Father, who paid so much to bring you into his family. Sin hurts our Father because it shows that we love sin more than we love him. Lastly, sin is when we choose to do what we want instead of what God wants. This choice leads to self-destruction.



My Prayer: 

Father, I want to thank you for Jesus' death on the cross and the salvation I have received because of it. You have shown me an incredible amount of grace. Please make me dislike my sin. Give me a strong desire to be holy and a better understanding of how much it cost you to make me holy. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.


May the Grace and Mercies of God follow you. 

Be blessed beyond measure
