KILLING SIN 1

HATE IT!

What would it be like for you to beat sin? To get a win over that one area of your life that keeps holding every part of you down? Sin does not need to define you nor consume you. Sin is exhausting, especially when you’re battling in secret, and you see no way to get a win. You can’t hide it, deny it, or play with it another day. You have to kill sin, and this is not some term unique to me. God invented the idea of dealing with sin by putting it to death. God’s Word indicates that dealing with sin is like a bloody battle—something has to die (Col. 3:5; Rom. 6:11. 

Hating sin helps us deal a blow to corruption in our own lives. Romans 12:9 tells us to hate or “abhor what is evil.” ” (v.9). Instead of winking at sin, ignoring it, or dumbing it down, hate it. We don’t like holding on to what we hate, so give it a go and hate away.

STRATEGY FOR BATTLE:

HATE IT- Have a prayer talk with God or write Him a letter:

● Tell Him how much you hate your sin and how it’s affecting your life.

● Tell Him that as much as you hate your sin, you need His help to hate it even more.
