REASONS TO REHEARSE THE GOSPEL DAILY
Day 8-Freedom From Sin’s Power
As long as I am stricken with the guilt of my sins, I will be captive to them, and will often find myself re-committing the very sins about which I feel most guilty. The Devil is well aware of this fact; he knows that if he can keep me tormented by sin’s guilt, he can dominate me with sin’s power.
The gospel, however, slays sin at at this root point and thereby nullifies sin’s power over me. The forgiveness of God, made known to me through the gospel, liberates me from sin’s power because it liberates me first from its guilt;25 and preaching such forgiveness to myself is a practical way of putting the gospel into operation as a nullifier of sin’s power in my life.
25-Romans 6:14. “For sin shall not be a master over you, for you are…under grace.”
