Deliverance through Christ
Coming back from retreat, I hope that God has revealed to you the idols in your life, and I pray that God has shown you the sin that you need to fight. And as we identify our sin and fight against temptation in our pursuit of holiness, there will be times when we will feel discouraged. As it says in Romans,
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! – Romans 7:21-25
Brothers and sisters, when you are feeling discouraged, always remember to lift up your eyes to praise God for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, who has already saved us from all of our sins!
