Romans 6:11-12 New International Version (NIV)
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to
sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let
sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
If we have been cleansed from perversity, if we have died
with Christ in baptism and have been cleansed thoroughly and completely by the
Holy Spirit, then let's live for God! Let's resist sin, and our inclination to
sin, with all our might, knowing that as we do, the Holy Spirit will empower us
to a much greater righteousness than we could ever live on our own. Let's begin
each day with a conscious decision to be dead to our sinful past and alive to
the goal of the holy character of God!
Thought for today:
Am I in the practice of setting a spiritual goal for my day?
