There is something amazing that happens in the life of a believer, something amazing that occurs through the grace of the Christ. I live this life seemingly struggling to keep my head above the waters of sin sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not engulfed in a life of sin, continuing in some type of lifestyle that John addresses in his epistle. But, I, as many others, find sin to be a part of life because of this flesh that curses my existence. However, I have the ability, by the power of the Spirit through the resurrection of Christ, to not have sin as a master over me. Sin, although present, has no controlling right to the life of a believer. The only power sin has is when it has been granted power by me, not taken by sin. Submitting myself to Christ (Lordship salvation) gives me a new master and I am now a slave to righteousness, seeking to be obedient to Its desires, resulting in sanctification.
Love God, love others.
