1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (Amplified Bible)

55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
56 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power [upon the soul] through [the abuse of] the Law.
57 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We can overcome any problem that presents itself to us. How, through the Blood of Jesus. No matter what problem we may face, Christ has also faced it as well. Satan tempted him with every temptation that he could and Jesus did not give in. While we are not Christ, we have Him in us and we are given power over Satan.

The problem is that many people do not want to use that power. It is so much easier to walk in sin and not have to be good. In the end, every time that we sin, we loose a little bit of life as we die to Christ in us. Sin stings us. Each time we do we loose a bit of our life.

Walk in life with Jesus and not in sin with Satan.


Note: I am sorry that this did not get out earlier today. I had my computer die and between work, teaching and rebuilding it, I have had no time to get it out. At least I will have it out before midnight so I have not missed a day. Hopefully we will get it out earlier Friday.
