That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.. – John 8:24 (NLT)
CHRIST, ANTIDOTE TO DEATH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Does unforgiveness rule your heart?
Give it up for it will tear you apart
Do you struggle with hatred and lawlessness?
Are you still clinging to pride and stubbornness?
Christ is the only answer to your iniquities
If you believe in him, you will have victory
Have faith that he is the way, the truth and the life
If you insist on staying in darkness you will lose sight.
Many people have no clue that Christ is the only light amidst this very dark world we live in. Some people stay in their past and cannot move on to the present. They miss out so many opportunities to love others because they are consumed by their baggage.
The bible tells us that it is only in Christ that we will die to sin. In other words, only Christ can make us conquer all our sins, bad habits and strongholds that we might have inherited from past generations. Faith is essential in conquering sin. If we stay doubtful as to what the Lord can do in our lives through Christ, we are good as dead.
PRAYER
Lord, make me a loving person always.
