“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2)”

The enemy of your soul will try to condemn you. He will try to get you to consider yourself condemned, lost, drifting, and unable to fulfil what God has for you. Those are all lies. Listen to the King of kings. If you have received Jesus, the Creator of the Universe lives in you. If you haven’t received Him, then receive Him now. Tell Him you receive Him and want to follow Him. Listen to Him. Yield yourself completely to Him. As you do, you will see your walk progress from glory to glory to be like Jesus.

“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

The enemy of your soul will call you back into the yoke of slavery to sin. Sin is habit forming and progressive, but so is righteousness. It’s always your choice. Will you choose to be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit, or will you follow what your fleshly nature pulls you toward?

“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14

“Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.” Titus 2:14

“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” Hebrews 2:14-15
