So, dear brothers, you have no obligations whatever to your old sinful nature to do what it begs you to do. For if you keep on following it you are lost and will perish, but if through the power of the Holy Spirit you crush it and its evil deeds, you shall live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like God's very own children, adopted into the bosom of his family, and calling to him, "Father, Father." (Rom 8:12-16 TLB) As long as we are willing to pay, our old sinful nature will keep demanding payment from us! Now, in this new year, is a good time to cut off that old sin nature and declare, NO MORE PAYMENTS! If you need help, call your Father!
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for taking care of the sin problem for us. We call on you now to help us walk in what you have established for us. Amen and Amen!
Rom 8:1-5. . . . There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. KJV
