Our sin is destroyed!

Scripture: Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin

Observation: We often think of our own sins, or other peoples sins, but have you ever thought about everyone in the whole world... past, present, and future's sin? Imagine the body of sin, all of our sins, together. What an amazing thing. Then imagine all of them being destroyed at one time in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In the same way that God told Saul to destroy the Amalekites, every living creature, are our sins to be destroyed completely, totally and without exception (1 Samuel 15:1-3).

Application: We, however, tend to be like Saul, and don't believe fully that our sins are really destroyed. Saul didn't destroy all of the Amelekites like he was commanded to, and millions died throughout the ages as a result. Millions continue to die in their sins today, because they don't believe that their sins are destroyed in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus that you died for our sins, so that we can have new life in you. Let us trust fully in your death, burial, and resurrection, and let us live in new life in you. Let us tell everyone we meet of this good news that you have destroyed sin forever and that we can live free in you!
