Sin is described as success in nothing. It is also missing the mark or breaking the law of God. When sin is committed, it is committed against God. Sin has a tendency of short-circuiting the flow of the power or glory of God. The sin of Adam and Eve, which affected the entire human race and became inherent in mankind; therefore mankind became spiritually dead and denied of the glory of God. That is why Jesus Christ was sent to deal with the sin of man so the man’s spirit can be recreated, so that he/she can receive eternal life, thereby partaking in the glory of God once more. The question I would want to ask you today is, are you truly born again? Are you still living in sin? If you are born again you have been given power to overcome sin, therefore, do not allow sin to have dominion over you.
As a child of God, committing sin should be a mistake not an intentional act because you know what sin is and how to overcome it. It all start with your mind, just think about righteousness and the good of humanity and the Holy Spirit will help you to walk in righteousness thereby avoiding sin. That is why as a child of God you must guard your heart which is the seat of your thoughts diligently. Never forget that, you are a product of your thought life and every sin starts from the mind and heart. Note that sin is a destroyer which has a lasting consequence of eternal separation from God. You must never compromise when it comes to committing any form of sin.
Never follow suit what the majority are doing be it at work, community or school. You should let the Word of God which is the truth become the benchmark in your life and let it guard all your actions. Your daily prayer should be for God to help you to walk in holiness and purity of heart. You must also endeavor to surrender all your pains and struggles to God in prayer.
