Do you have sin in your everyday life that you want to get rid of, but don’t know how? Here is how. Don’t give yourself time to sin. CAUTION--don’t read any further if your not 100% committed to getting rid of the sin in your life.
Verse: Romans 6:11-14
11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.
13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
"Sin is what happens when there is too much time and too little purpose in our lives." Erwin McManus
Ok here we go. What you are going to need to start doing is be willing to spend time every morning with Jesus. This will bring your body into line with your heart, where Jesus is living. Open your heart to Jesus and pray about the sins you want to get rid of. Then you will need to have a notebook with you and you are going to write down 5-10 things you want to do today.
Hang out with Jason at lunch.
Go skateboard after school.
Tell Laura that joke I heard.
Come home and finish cleaning my room.
Help mom make supper.
Call Grandma and ask her if they are coming over this weekend.
Do my homework, if I have any.
Watch the Office.
Read my Bible before going to bed.
Tell 7 people I love them.
If you do this you’ll be amazed at the difference in how much better your day turns out. You will be transformed from living life with no purpose and no direction, to living a life full of meaning and importance. Plus, it will cut out your time for sinning.
SO WHAT?
Look all around you and you can see people who don’t have a reason to live. Then look at people who are doing important things and making a difference. You can do like either one of them, which one do you want to be?
