The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. (Psalm 37:31)

Redemption (Part 4): Knowledge [of God] is Power!

We CAN overcome sin by continually submitting our will to God’s authority, by studying, memorizing and frequently contemplating God’s Word, so that it can transform us by replacing our human desires with Godly desires. Then God’s will and God’s plan will consummate in us to produce righteousness to the Glory of God.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

Redemption (Part 3): Disobedience Disables.

If we are ever to live victorious Christian lives, we must first seriously seek to live obedient sacrificial lives. It’s not more ‘churching’, it’s not louder singing, it’s not even better preaching that’s going to transform us. We will be transformed when we “offer ourselves as living sacrifices” to God (Romans 12:1-2): when we sacrifice our will to live in obedience to God’s will.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  (Psalm 119:11)

The First Sin

Rather than making God’s Word subject to our desires, we should subject our desires to God’s Word… Know God’s Word to know sin. Obey God’s Word to defeat sin

"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." ~Proverbs 28:13

The Wrong Approach to Sin

No matter how much we deny, distort or disguise the evidence of sin, we can never change the fact of sin… Only God can remove the stain and penalty of sin. The longer we hide from Him the longer we have to live with the cancer of sin eating away at our lives… Nobody forces us to sin and God does not put us in a situation where we must sin. We are NOT powerless. We CAN choose to resist the influence of others. We CAN rise above our circumstances.
