Scripture:
“Sin is a dethroned monarch; so you must no longer give it an opportunity to rule over your life, controlling how you live and compelling you to obey its desires and cravings.”
Romans 6:12 TPT
Observation:
In this passage, Paul is talking about how sin entered the world through one man and how that grace entered through Christ. Because of Christ, sin has been defeated and can no longer rule over us. The passion translation calls sin a dethroned monarch. It had power in the past to rule over us, but it has been dethroned.
Application:
If a monarch has been dethroned, it can still act like it has power, but its power has been taken away and their word has no backing or authority because they are no longer on the throne. We must realize that we have been crucified with Christ and the old self is dead and dead men don’t sin. There is not excuse for us sinning any more because sin is a dethroned monarch. We must gain victory over sin.
Prayer:
Lord, let me live a life that is honoring to You. Help me to walk in Your resurrection power over sin, temptation, trials, etc. Let me live a life that bring You glory. You paid the price for us to walk in grace, let my life bring You glory. I want to live in the power of the resurrection.
Your Son,
Jeff
