BREAKING THE DOMINION OF SIN
Categories: Daily Devotional
“For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law, but under
grace.” Romans 6:14 (KJV)
The scripture 1 John 3:20–21 says that if
your heart condemns you, you won’t have
boldness, you won’t have authority, and you
won’t be able to access what belongs to you.
If your heart condemns you as a result of the
sin in your life, it will affect what you
receive. Even your prayers will be affected.
Your relationship with God will be affected.
You will live in fear, doubt, and unbelief. You
will even doubt whether God will bless you.
There will be no assurance that what you are
standing in faith for will happen. You will
find out that you are inadequate and that
you are imperfect. You will also discover that
you won’t be able to rebuke the devil,
because he will highlight all the things you
have done wrong and bombard your mind
with them. So it is very important that you
know how to break the bondage of sin over
your life.
Indeed, 1 Corinthians 15:56, says that, the
strength of sin is the law, so where there is
no law there is no sin. But as long as there
is law, sin is empowered and sin abounds.
Romans 3:19 (KJV) says, “Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to
them who are under the law: that every
mouth may be stopped, and the world may
become guilty before God.” This scripture
shows us that not everyone is under the law.
Knowledge of sin comes from the law. So
how do you break the dominion of sin? The
answer is simple: by living above the law.
How do you live above the law? By living
consciously through grace. Understand and
settle it in your heart that Christ came and
fulfilled the law. He freed you from the
bondage of the law. So why do you do what
you do? You act out of love for God.
So what should I do if I want to take away
sin? Remove the law! That is why Jesus
came (1 John 3:5). He was manifested to
take away sin. Jesus has paid the full price
for sin; your part is to receive His gift and
walk in the fullness of the victory wrought by
Christ Jesus.
