Clean Today, And Everyday!

Each morning I wake up, I take a shower. Loosens up the muscles, helps my back feel better from inactivity. The best part is it takes all the dirt off. Each morning the process repeats itself. Our sin is like that dirt. It wants to come each day, and place itself upon us, but something is different if we are in Christ. The dirt can't stick. No matter how hard we're tempted, we don't have to give into sin. Christ didn't, and was crucified for it. We don't have to either because it is now, "Christ in us, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27) And, "It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me." (Galatians 2:20) Sin can be defined as taking something of God's and using it as if it was your own. Everything is God's. Our breath, our eyesight, all the trees, everything. But we act is if it were our own, but it's not! Psalm 24:1 "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness" There is nothing that isn't His, so let Him have it all and control it all, stop acting as though something were your even yourself. Gal. 2:20 again! "It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me." Now put the two together: It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me, the world and those who dwell therein. There, we said it, not let us live it.
