Through the Lamb of God's life's blood and the words of our testimony, we can be redeemed by grace, overcoming death to live forever as God's beloved Children; yet, desiring or living in the deceptive pleasures of sin keeps one away from God's grace (Rom. 6:1-22, Rev. 12:11). Sin traps many people in ropes of their own making and compels them to feel comfortable in their lustful ways so that they are blindfolded against the Truth and may remain in bondage to never return to union with the Father, while everyone who receives the Truth, God's Word, in repentance and full submission, becomes free in all reality (Prov. 5:22, Rom. 6:16).
Moreover, the declaration of the Gospel reveals the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus to all who abide by it (Rom. 8:2). So, we should follow Him along the path of the righteous who are written in the book of life, to remain eternally free but never again be entangled in sins, every one of which only leads to the second death (Gal. 5:1, Rev. 20:14-15).
PRAYER: Thank You, Ever-loving Father, for You have graciously set me free from sin and favor me to dwell in Your presence through Your Holy Son and everlasting Word, Jesus Christ; please keep Your Spirit with me as I truly live in Him,
Amen.
From John 8:34-36
