"If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”Genesis 4.7
Sin is at the door. However it doesn't have dominion over those who are born of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, they shouldn't fear it. Instead, they should resist it by the power of their faith in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Mrs Esther.
ReplyDeleteIt is true. When we are born of God the sin doesn't have any power upon us.
Yes! Sin is always there taunting us, just waiting for us to fall into them. Also, since it is a lot harder for the devil to make us fall into a "BIG" sin, he works hard in trying to trick us into "small" little sins such as a bad thought, jealousy etc and tries to convince us that they are completely OK to do, harmless, or that they are not sins at all- when in fact before God they are all sins! We must be born of the Spirit to overcome them!
ReplyDeleteyes without the Holy Spirit the devil has a hold of me and everything scares me.but God's power fears nothing
ReplyDeletewhen we do not have the presence of God it will be hard for us to say no to sin that is why we need the presence of God to do so.

to have the Holy Spirit is no joke because it give strength to overcome temptations, sin and gives strength to be faithful to God. it is vital that everyone who whats to keep their salvation must be born of God, if not sooner or later sin is going to get hold of them.
