Hello Everyone,
Sin, too, often comes dressed in an adorable disguise,
and as we play with it, how easy it is to say, "It will be different for me." The results are predictable.
Sin may appear harmless and be pleasurable but eventually it will turn on you and mar a person and often, for life. In fact, sin kills the life out of people.

Sin takes over, controls and makes
people essentially into the “walking
dead.” But there is an escape and that escape is through Jesus Christ.
He ALONE gives victory over
sin.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 7:24-25a “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
Paul gives the path of how to become alive in Christ.

DEAD
IN SIN - THAT’S US (at one time)
1 As for you, you were DEAD in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
Dead doesn’t sound good. This text speaks of the walking dead, however.

That sounds like Zombies dead and yet still alive!
Those who have not given their lives to
Christ in faith and surrender are essentially dead.
The devil already has them in his grasp. It
doesn’t take much to lead them down the path of sin. They are already living in
it.

At one time, we ALL were dead in our sins
maybe not as dead as some, but still dead. We followed the sinful ways of the world
and followed the ruler of the kingdom of the air who is Satan
whether we realized this or not.
Everyone starts in this life: dead in sin.
Oh but Greater Things
Came!
