The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the
law (1 Cor. 15:56).
One of the things that occupied my thoughts most of the time
after I became a Christian was how to stop sinning. Mostly, I realised it was
not sinning in general but a particular sin that seemed to plague me. It was
the sin I struggled with all the time. The one I felt easily entangled me and
impeded my progress in the Christian
life. Like every true Christian, I wanted to stop but stopping was out of my reach.
Sometimes I could succeed for a while before I found myself plunged into it
once again. It never seemed to lose its hold on me. Beloved, your experience
may not be very different from mine. I
know many Christians identify with this problem I had.
