Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
It is so easy for someone to tell you that you don’t have to sin, but another thing entirely to stay clear of that sin in our lives. We are born into sin and we often seem like sin magnets because it just keeps coming back!
It is the lust and desire that in part of sin that tempts us and draws us back into the pit. It is not the power it has over us but the perception of power that we may gain if we take on that sin.
That is the trap of sin; it has such a shiny and inviting picture that draws us in but a very dark and ugly result that we certainly do not need!
