Always Address You Sin In The Context Of The Gospel
Our tendancy is that as soon as we begin to work
on an area of sin in our lives,
we forget the gospel !

We forget that God has already forgiven our sin
because of the death of Christ.
He has also credited to us the perfect
righteousness of Christ.
As we struggle to put to death our sins,
we must always keep in mind
this two fold truth:
Our sins are forgiven!
and
We are accepted as righteous by God !
There is no greater motivation for
dealing with sin in our lives than the realization of
these two glorious truths of the gospel.
