Journey in Faith – Daily Devotional
Scripture:
“For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.”
— Romans 6:6–7 (NIV)
Sin vs. Sins: The Battle Within
Sin isn’t just what we do—it’s who we were. Before Christ, sin was our master, and the many sins we committed were simply the fruit of a deeper root. But Paul reminds us that through the cross, our old self—the nature ruled by sin—was crucified with Christ.
That changes everything.
Now, as believers, we are not just forgiven for the sins we’ve committed; we are also freed from the power of sin itself. We are no longer under its dominion. That doesn’t mean we won’t stumble—but it does mean we’re not slaves anymore. There is a difference between falling and being bound.
Jesus didn’t just come to deal with what we’ve done—He came to change who we are.
Reflection:
Are you living like someone who’s been set free? Do you believe that sin no longer has the right to rule you? Let today be a day you step fully into your freedom.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for not only forgiving my sins but for breaking the chains of sin itself. Help me to live out that freedom today. When I’m tempted to go back to old ways, remind me that the old me was crucified with You. I choose life in the Spirit, not slavery to sin. In Your name, Amen.
