Don't Flirt with SIn.

Romans 6:13
13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.


Do you ever wonder why we do things sometimes or what our purpose is? Many times, in hindsight, we don't really see a reason for certain things. We think, wow, if I would have done this instead, I could be heading down a completely different path right now.

The Bible tells us our body is like a temple. Therefore, we are to glorify God with what we do with our bodies. Our body is constantly soaking up the sin that invades the world. However, because of Jesus Christ, our dead body from all that sin is transformed into a body that's alive. We have to pull ourselves out of the saturating sin of the world because Christ saved us - he died and rose again!

Those sins that we committed a long time ago, we need to just let blow away in the wind. With Christ, our past shouldn't really matter anymore. In fact, it doesn't! There's always a renewed hope that you can experience. God can help you accept that fact at any time.

If we live in the spirit, we can live in the present, FOR God. That's the least we can do.

Are you attracted to sin in the sense that you can't let it go? If so, ask the gracious God help you forget about it and to help you commit your life to him and to him alone.
