Death First, Then LIFE

Romans 6

Inspired thots

God's plan is always the Best! Though the start of it may seem unfavorable to me... like dying first before living.
But it is IMPORTANT to DIE to the OLD Self; for it is so wicked and unrighteous that it has to be SERIOUSLY Dealt with before I can enjoy the NEW life God has promised me.

There must be a THOROUGH Cut Away from the Old self and SIN which beleague me. So hard but it is NOT Impossible. It is a matter of my WILL... how badly do I want it? WHAT do I really want?

Yes, I should not harp on God's GRACE to indulge in my old self and sin. There must be a constant EFFORT in steering AWAY from sin. The FURTHER I go away (consciously) from Sin, the LESS its clutches on me.

There are only TWO choices: SIN or GOD
I am created to belong; either to SIN or GOD
A slave ... condemned to forever (SIN) or freed and made righteous forever (GOD)
Actually, the decision is quite simple... but it is the CURRENT that clouds my focus and decisions.
