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!
