Victorious Living

God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world. 1 Corinthians 7:23 NLT.

A comedian has said, “Enjoy as much as you can. Even if you live to be ninety, that’s not as long as you’re going to be dead!” We can laugh and throw it off, but there is a penalty to pay when God’s Word is disregarded. Death brings an end to physical life, but the life of the human soul lives on for eternity, in either Heaven or Hell. Godless influences are everywhere, persuading us toward idolatry and sexual immorality. Right moral living is not easy. We have at our fingertips every pleasure that mankind is capable of enjoying, and mankind has abused every gift God ever gave. Sinfulness and sensuality are inevitably destructive, dehumanizing, and demeaning to God’s creation. At times, they may create tension between what we want to be for God and others, and what we crave for ourselves. How do we overcome? By turning to God for His help by first repenting of sin and receiving His forgiveness. He enables us to live victoriously over sin that dominates the human heart. To His followers He says, “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:20). He paid the penalty for our sin so that we can live righteously and bring glory to Him.
