Savior from What? Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:53 AM PST Christ is not only our Savior from the consequences of our sins; He is also our Savior from sin itself. When we follow Christ, we do more than accept His forgiveness. We become a new person who longs to please Him (2 Corinthians 5:17; John 14:21). Our sins bother us (1 John 3:9). We won’t be perfect this side of heaven, but Christians are constantly moving toward that goal, seeking God's will and purposes (Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 5:1-20). So let's remember these truths: 1. God always provides a way out of temptation, but we must take it (1 Corinthians 10:13). 2. We can’t do the right things in our own strength, but we can do them in Christ’s strength (Philippians 4:13). 3. We still have sinful desires, but they'll become less prevalent as we renew our mind in God’s Word (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22-24). Are you struggling with sinful desires? I encourage you to read Ephesians 5:1-20 every morning this week.
