Holy Habits: Stop Trying, Start Being

0 Amens

Amen

We continue this Sunday our encampment in the teaching Paul began in Romans 6, verse 12. Our apostle is showing us the way of not only ending our careers as pitiful sinners but of beginning our careers as powerful saints. He has introduced now for the first time in Romans the necessity of holy habits in living the new life. The power of Jesus' resurrection life is fully available to us but it is not fully at work in us. Effort is required. Old habits are still active and must be displaced. New habits are at hand and must be activated. Sunday we will see that living in the power of Christ is not some happy accident, a hit or miss proposition. No, his life of power is a happy promise for all who will train themselves for godliness through holy habits. Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
