Victory Over Any Sin

 

Victory Over Any Sin

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28:13 NIV

There is no one so holy that they do not sin. We all fall short of God’s glory. We all sin. But at the end of every sin, we have a choice. We can confess and renounce our sin or we can give into it. If we confess and renounce it, we will find forgiveness and freedom. If we yield to a sin, it will become a habit and will lead us to stumble down the path into deep darkness.

It may be that in our struggle to walk with Jesus, we find ourselves falling for the same sin. If that happens, we can be honest to the Lord about our plight. The worst thing we can do is to surrender to a specific temptation and give up the fight.  

We can find help by sharing our struggle with a brother or sister in Christ. We can also find great victory by standing on God’s word and answering Satan’s offer with God’s answer, which is the written word of God. This is how Jesus triumphed over temptation.

Dear brother or sister, know that there is no condemnation for those in Christ. With His assistance, we can overcome any sin.
