Meditate On
For sin shall not have dominion over you,
for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14
His
Grace Will Win You Over
I love the story of the woman caught in
adultery for the way our Lord loved her. While others wanted her dead, Jesus
didn’t. He defended her and gave her the gift of no condemnation so that she
would have the power to “go and sin no more”.
He looked tenderly into her eyes and asked
her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She
said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and
sin no more” (John 8:10–11).
You see, the power to stop sin from destroying
your life comes from receiving the gift of no condemnation from Jesus. This is
the Lord’s grace, my friend. This is His unmerited favor! The legalist will say
that God will not condemn you only if you stop sinning. However, Grace says, “I
have taken your condemnation on the cross. Now, you can go and sin no more.”
God’s Word says that “sin shall not have
dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace [unmerited
favor].” So if you are still struggling with sin, it is time to stop depending
on your self-efforts. Fall upon Jesus’ unmerited favor like this woman did.
When you know that Christ has made you righteous apart from your works, and
that He does not condemn you but loves you unconditionally, that will give you
the ability to overcome every sinful temptation, habit and addiction in your
life!
