Reflection
When we repented of our sins and accepted Christ as our Lord and Saviour through His death and resurrection, the Bible says we have been given the new self. The Greek word used in today’s scriptures is kainos. This newness is not an upgrade like a new model of a phone. Instead, it’s a completely different thing. This new nature has power over sin. This new nature can reflect God’s holiness and can walk in righteousness because the Holy Spirit dwells within us. The old self is dead, crucified with Christ. We can overcome temptations in life because of this new self and with the help of the Holy Spirit. We can live a victorious life, free from bondage of deceitful desires through a spirit-led life.
Prayer
Lord, we thank You for the cross. I can now stand victorious. Sin has no hold on me because of what You have done. Teach me and guide me, Holy Spirit, to rely on You and not on my own strength. Every day will be a day of victory in Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
