We discussed
the sin in our life and how we are forgiven.
We are free from the penalty of sin, free from the power of sin, and at
some point we will be free from the presence of sin. We can use God’s example of forgiveness so we
can forgive others. Or maybe we need to
forgive ourselves and give it all to the one who died for us.
In the
Fireproof clip, Caleb was dealing with the lust of the eyes (boat) and lust of
the flesh (porn). When he identified the “parasites” for what they were, he
chose to honor God. In the movie he took
a drastic or dramatic measure by taking the computer outside and destroying it
with a baseball bat.
My challenge
to you this week is to determine what dramatic measure you need to take to deal
with the sin in your life. Maybe it
involves an object, an addiction, an unhealthy relationship, etc. Whatever it is take steps this week to live
in the freedom of God’s forgiving grace.
Then follow his example for others.
Be
Intentional.
