When a mother tells a young child not to do something, isn’t it interesting how the child does it anyway? For example, a mother tells a child not to touch an oven. Eventually, the child gets close to the oven and either gets burned or caught by their parent. Even if it’s detrimental, it’s like the child has to satisfy their curiosity.

This curiosity is in all of us and it dwells in our flesh. Through the law, God has a set of rules and regulations that we must follow. Unfortunately, man with his curiosity of sin, could not fulfill the law. Therefore, we needed a Savior in Jesus to fulfill the law. Now, we are no longer under the Law but, grace.

The point is, there is no humanly possible way to overcome sin without Christ. Our reliance should be on the blood of Jesus to help us through life. No matter how hard we try, we won’t make it without Christ.
Don’t concentrate on not sinning, realize that the blood of Jesus has freed us from the bondage of sin and we have grace to satisfy our curiosity.

Romans 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin– 7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
