Oct 19 ~ THE NEW LIFE SHOULD NEVER GET OLD:  PRACTICING SIN IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THE CHILD OF GOD

Oct 19 ~ THE NEW LIFE SHOULD NEVER GET OLD:  PRACTICING SIN IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THE CHILD OF GOD

Romans 6:15 “What then?  Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?  God forbid.”

Adam’s sin caused all men (humankind) to be born with a fallen (sin) nature, separating man from God.  Grace has been extended to man through both the precious blood of Jesus and the new birth experience.  Man now has the privilege to be partakers of our Lord and Savior’s divine nature (II Peter 1:4).  Because of this God-given extention of grace to us and the renewing of our minds, we should not pursue the old fallen nature but God’s divine nature.  Let us strive toward spiritual perfection (maturity) and not draw back to the practices of sin (Hebrews 6:1, 10:38-39).
