The power of sin

The power of sin

1 Cor 16:56 The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law.

That is why the enemy would rather see a believer working hard to please you, Father.
Working “good” works because he should, because there is a need and no one steps forward; he thinks he should because no one else will. Working, doing good works because that makes him more acceptable to you, makes him a “better” Christian.
This is where the enemy finds his power—by convincing sincere Christians to work out of their soul—what they think should be done. To live by a law of “doing good”.
But thanks be to you, Father who has given us the victory through Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Your have given us a new and a better way. You have given us a new covenant, and the old one has been made obsolete (Hebrews 8:13).
“Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6)
Help me, Father, to abound in the work of the Lord…in and through your Spirit.
