Towards Christmas 8: Still Playing The Victim? + Song of The Day: Fighting For Me (Anthony Evans)

In as much as grace is a gift flowing from Gods mercy and love, it is not an impotent gift that keeps us shackled to sin.

After the king raised his sceptre to Esther, Haman (the enemy) was ultimately dealt with and hung on the gallows that were intended for Mordecai. 

In the same way Jesus (who had never sinned) became sin (2Cor5:21), and was hung on the cross in our place hence destroying the power of sin.

Then the king proceeded to endorse another decree that empowered the Jews to fight against those that desired to annihilate them, and they were totally victorious. (See Esther 7-9)

Christ's death destroyed sin and then His resurrection and ascension brought His Spirit into our hearts Who daily empowers us to live in accordance to the will of God (Phil2:13), He is the testimony of us being God's children! (Rom8:12-16). 

Christ had to be born to stop us from being victims of sin, and transform us into conquerors of the same. (Rom8:37). 

Please do meditate on the quotes below and allow your mind to be renewed by the power of Gods Spirit. The times I have fallen prey to sin despite Jesus' sacrifice, have been because I kept the knowledge of the power available to me by His spirit at the back of my mind by being slack about what Rom12:2 instructs. 

Let us work in sync with the Spirit on a daily basis and never be victims to sin again (Gal5:25). His grace is sufficient (2Cor12:9).

"May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (2Cor13:14 NIV)
