We need to do some reckoning….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following from Mary Cudal is one of my favorite reminders when I have times of struggle as we all do. I keep it in the front of my Bible, close and handy. It is right out of Romans chapter 6 and at the heart of our daily walk. Here it is\u2026
We all struggle with sin every day. Sin dwells in us and is present with us every day of our saved life on earth.
But now, we need to do some reckoning.
1. Christ paid for our sins. He destroyed the power of sin, but sin is still present in us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. God\u2019s grace applied to our \u201cold man of sin\u201d is necessary in this life. We need to reckon him dead by the death of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. We then reckon our life in Christ to operate by his resurrection.
4. God\u2019s grace was needed the moment you believed the gospel, and it will be needed every day of your life in Christ. Trust God\u2019s grace, and not your ability to walk without sin.
5. Reckon yourself to be dead to sin, and alive in Christ by God\u2019s grace and you will avoid the pitfalls of sin\u2019s condemnation.
Rom 6:11
\u201cLikewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.\u201d
Amen! Hallelujah!
