God\u2019s Grace \u00a0 Day 16
\nIn Christ, Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God\u2019s grace.\u00a0<\/em> Romans 6:14 NLT<\/p>\n

Message:<\/span>
\nBy God\u2019s grace in Christ, we have been set free from the power of sin, therefore, when we are tempted to sin, we need ask God to give us the strength to resist and turn away from it.<\/p>\n

For t<\/em>he temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.\u00a0 <\/em>1Corinthians 10:13 NLT<\/p>\n

Therefore, \u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Do not let sin control the way you live; <\/em>do not give in to sinful desires.<\/em>\u00a0Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of\u00a0<\/em>God Romans<\/i>\u00a06:12-13 NLT<\/p>\n

God\u2019s grace is such a blessing in our lives in so many ways. It has brought us mercy, favor, and goodness It has forgiven us, redeemed us, set us free from the power of sin, and given us peace with God, Let\u2019s be sure to give thanks to God daily for His wonderful grace!<\/p>\n
