Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

                                                                       The Lord's Free Men

Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
                                                                                       ~ Romans 6:14

  "Sin will reign if it can: it cannot be satisfied with any place below the throne of the heart. But the Lord gives us this comforting assurance, "Sin shall not have dominion over you." It may assail you and even wound you, but it shall never establish sovereignty over you.
  If we were under the law, our sin would gather strength and hold us under its power, but as we are under the covenant of grace, we are secured against departing from the living God by the sure declaration of the covenant. Grace is promised to us, by which we are restored from our wanderings, cleansed from our impurities, and set free from the chains of habit.
  Since we are the Lord's people, we take courage to fight our corruptions and temptations, being assured that sin shall never bring us under its sway again. God Himself gives us the victory through Jesus Christ." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

  1. Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaen, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil: For Thine is Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
