The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. – Romans 8:3(NLT)
END TO SIN’S CONTROL
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you submit yourself to Christ
You will find victory in this life
The law wasn’t able to save us
Instead it kept us bonded to lust.
God sent his only son as a sacrifice
He did this so we can have eternal life
He brought an end to the control of sin
Let’s exercise dominion over it so we can win.
________________________________________
The bible tells us that we are all sinners and only the act of Christ’s dying on the cross gave us control over sin. When we commit our lives to Jesus, everything is turned over. We begin to experience power that comes from knowing God’s word. We get be convicted by the Holy Spirit and shown a way to win over temptations. In the Old Testament, the law was the only thing that mattered but when Jesus came to the world, everything changed. We are no longer bound by the law but by love and grace that comes from God’s unfailing love.

PRAYER
Lord, remind me to exercise the authority you have given me to win over sin.
REFLECTION
Why do some believers live fearful lives in this world?

AN END TO SIN
A poem and essay by ILMA
When God sent his son to mankind
We were given a chance to find
The law couldn’t do what Jesus did
God brought Christ to put an end to sin.
Through the sacrifice on the cross
He alleviated all our pain and loss
God put an end to all evil through Christ
Through him, we were given a chance for a better life.
________________________________________
Do you ever wish that you could put an end to all your sins? The apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans discussed the dilemma that mankind face in this corrupt world. Even if we want to do good, we sometimes end up doing the opposite. I didn’t understand for a long time that I didn’t have to do works for my own salvation. Christ has already done the work for me when he died on the cross to put an end to evil.
The unconditional love that God showed us when he sent his son on the cross is incomparable to any form of love. It is Christ’s love for us that made him sacrifice his own life.
PRAYER
Teach me how to love unconditionally Lord.
REFLECTION
What have you sacrificed for Jesus?
