Many times, we try to overcome the sin in our life on our own. We use our works, knowledge, and efforts to overcome sin instead of realizing that Jesus paid it all. In our own efforts, we may think we need to confess an overcoming scripture 1000 times or we need to pray for three hours a day. Unfortunately, all of our efforts will eventually have us going back to the sin we’re trying to overcome. Prayer and confession is great but, if that’s all it took then Jesus’ sacrifice was pointless.

Jesus paid it all. No matter how hard we try, we can’t replace the sacrifice of Jesus. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, God DOES NOT count our sins against us. So, don’t beat yourself up when you miss the mark. Have an understanding that Jesus died for all of our sins and God is not holding our sins against us.

When mistakes are made, continue to make a conscious effort to do God’s will.

Inspired by Pastor C. Dollar

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
