The Gospel isn’t behavioral modification. It is glorious transformation.
In Jesus we are no longer who we were. We are no longer under the bondage that held us but new in Christ. Our behavior changes not because we work on it but because we are different on the inside. He has spoken “GRACE, GRACE.” Let’s do the same!
I Corinthians 6:11 “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”

Romans 6:14 “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”
This powerful verse doesn’t speak of sinless perfection, since Christians still struggle with temptations and must choose to follow Christ daily. Nor is this an impossible command that we have to strive to live up to. This is a promise that the tyrannical rule of sin is broken in the live of a Christ follower. The stranglehold of sin has been released and sin is no longer lord of our lives - Christ Jesus is our Lord by the power of His grace.

Jesus > the junk.
No one’s unfaithfulness depletes the faithfulness of God! No one’s betrayal erases God’s loyalty. No one’s lies invalidate His truth. #TrustJesus
Romans 3:3-4 “What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar…”

The enemy is relentless in the attempt to execute his plans for our demise. We too must be relentless in pursuing the will of the Lord for our lives and trusting His grace. The weapons formed will not prosper against those who abide in Christ Jesus.
Acts 25:2-3 “And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews laid out their case against Paul, and they urged him, asking as a favor against Paul that he summon him to Jerusalem—because they were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.”
