Jesus…moral dominion over sin?

God reminded me today sin is inevitable for every human being. The challenge is how do you deal with sin which defines your relationship with God.

The subject about sin started with God in the Old Testament.

God spoke from Mount Sinai with the laws concerning sin. The law is a black and white declaration from God. It does not care about your genetic disposition for sin or your human frailties.

God knew that no one can keep the laws of God. If you attempt to live by the law you will fail and bring condemnation upon yourself.

The laws of God convict you about your inner nature. You realize the need for something greater than yourself to please God.

God knew about this conflict from the beginning of creation. He created Adam and Eve in His image. They were without sin until they were deceived by the Serpent and disobeyed God.

From this point on, all humanity was born with a desire to live for self and defy God.

God is holy and saw the despicable nature of humanity. He destroyed all humanity except for eight souls but this did not solve the problem of sin.

God desired to keep His integrity unblemished and provide a method for human beings to be restored to God. Jesus was the perfect solution.

The sacrifice of Jesus provided atonement for all sin through His blood. Your sins are forgiven and you can stand blameless before God.

However, the act of the Cross did not provide a human being with moral dominion over sin. The Cross allows you to live a life pleasing to God and to be free from the bondage of sin but you will be a sinner until you go to Heaven.

God created a method to help humanity overcome sin. The gift of salvation offers the ability to be born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit who is the life of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit convicts you of sin and transforms you into the character of Jesus. He teaches you how to by live the values of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is your moral compass. He keeps you on track with God and examines all your motives and decision making.

It is important to make the Holy Spirit your best friend and invite Him to have authority over your life. He is the only way you can stay untarnished from the world.

Spend time with the Holy Spirit each day. He wants to speak to you and teach you how to walk in the footsteps of Jesus!
