Message of Scripture: 11/09/2021

 

Today’s message from Scripture is Rom. 6:19; “For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.”

 

How well has humanity done in following God’s commandments? Throughout history, not very well. It is part of the human experience, once influenced by sin, to want to determine for oneself what is right and best. Sin always leads one into more sin, and the negative consequences that accompany it. In reality, it is a death spiral, deeper and further into sin, which leads to death (Rom. 6:23). Unless the process is arrested, as was the case by their renouncement of sinful practices and turning to the righteousness of God, it only gets worse, never better. The very nature of sin leads to more sin, worse sin, and the devastation that follows in its wake.

 

Sin creates dissatisfaction, and whatever is established in it will just lead to a greater influence of it in life. Without the influence of God’s divine will, there is no real authority for right or wrong. We can experience God’s blessings by living in His parameters, or we can substitute the desires of the flesh, which constantly change and bring negative consequences to life. Are we willing to take a slippery slope which will ultimately consume us?

 

Today, let’s go out to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the fulness of His truth, and live it out in the fulness of our lives. We are all influenced by something or someone, so why not allow God through His word to lead us to life? Make a difference in yourself and others today, by letting them see God in you. God bless.
