"Therefore, do not
let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires."
In the 6th Chapter of
Romans, Paul reminds us that we should no longer live in sin because when we
accept Jesus Christ in our lives, we already died with Him in the cross and the
moment we died from the cross, we become free from sin, as Christ conquered sin in
that cross.
As Christians, we are
already "new" beings. This means that we now have new outlook and new
perspectives in life. Before we
accepted God, sin was a big part of our lives. That was normal by then because
we did not have God in our lives yet. As we know,
"sin" is the absence of God. However, the moment we accepted Jesus as
our savior, we are protected from sin. Now, the problem is some of us let our sins haunt us. Even though, we are already Christians, we continue sinning because we let our old selves come back and
taunt us. Still, if we, as Christians, would do things to
strengthen ourselves in our faith, we can resist
sin. You see, if we would let sin enter our lives, there would come a time when we would not be able to control ourselves anymore, and we would be conquered by our sin and be led away from
God. Therefore, if we want to stay close to God, we should avoid sinning so
that our mortal bodies would be resistant to sin's evil desires.
