1/17/2013 Wise Living: SecretsScriptures: Romans 7:14-25
One of the biggest challenges of our times is that people feel they deserve to have secret sins in their lives, to live wisely we must realize that secret sins are not acceptable to God. When we allow secret sins in our lives we learn to accept them, we start to like them and even cherish them. We find enjoyment in them and they become like a friend. There is something seriously wrong with this thinking, because we begin to lose our desire to change. We start to accept a false sense of freedom, and do not even realize we are hurting others. We become internally frustrated because our desires and actions are out of sync. So what is the solution to dealing with these secret sins? Ask yourself the question do you find God's Word at work in you? Are you remorseful when you sin? We must recognize that sin is a choice and can become an addiction. We must destroy the contract we have made with sin. We have to do away with our secrets. We have stop feeding our secret sins: take away the enjoyment we find in them. Confess and acknowledge that Jesus died for your sins and allow a new nature that God has given you to reign above your old nature. Jesus will rescue you and you receive a fresh surge of God's forgiveness and His grace. Pray that the Holy Spirit will empower you to live a transparent life. Comments are closed.
