Christian Joy VS Sin

Posted by JasonS on August 3, 2007

Here is an interesting discussion of how Christian joy will help in the triumph over sin.

Indeed we should conquer sin by the expulsive power of greater affections.

Ps 97:10
Ye that love the LORD, hate evi
KJV

Col 3:1-3
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
KJV

When we value the Lord and His glory above all others we will find ourselves hating sin more and overcoming sin more.

Just musing……….
