Romans 6 reminds us of a powerful truth: we are no longer fighting for victory; we are fighting from victory.

One sign that God is changing our hearts is that we no longer feel okay with ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ. Before we knew Christ, sin felt normal. After we know Christ, there is a sense of guilt (conviction). There is a desire to please God. There is a longing to live differently. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ด๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ, ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐.
The Christian life is a daily choice. Everyday we choose whether we will follow our desires or give ourselves to God. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น, ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฑโ๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ป. ๐ซ It helps us to say sorry (repent), get up, and keep going with Him. The same grace that saved us is the grace that helps us everyday.
When temptation comes, remember who you are. You are not defined by your mistakes, your failures, or your weaknesses. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ.
