Does sin control the way you live or do you have everything under control? I can think of way too many times that I have given in to sinful desires. Sinful desires cover a large number of sins, so don’t convince yourself that just because you’re a faithful spouse, for example, you get a pass on this one.
Drunkenness, idolatry, gossip, and many other activities would be examples of giving in to evil desires. Any of these can control you and drag you into a sinful lifestyle.
The Good News is that Christ died for your sins and broke the power of sin over your life. You are no longer a slave to sin. So do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Don’t be out of control!
Romans 6:12 (NLT) - “Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.”
