APPLICATION POINTS on defeating sin daily.
Adapted from Bible.org
1. Know who you are in Christ. Know what He has done for you. (You‘ve got to know God’s Word)
2. Let who God says you are define you and live it out in the daily situations of life.
3. We are not our own! We must serve/obey our Master. We serve/obey out of gratitude and love to the One who first loved us and gave Himself for us!
4. The Christian life is a supernatural life. It, like salvation, is a gift from God in Christ. He initiates it and He provides its power. We must respond in repentance and faith, both initially and daily.
5. Don’t play around with sin. Label it for what it is. Turn from it; flee from it. Don’t put yourself into the place of temptation.
6. Sin in the believer is an addiction that can be broken, but it takes knowledge of the gospel, the presence of the Spirit, submission to the Spirit, time, effort, and resolve. (Sin is no longer your master, but we still battle with our sin nature.)
