Through the Cross and the resurrection of Jesus, we are not only dead to sin, but we are alive to God. To be set free from sin, we must both turn away from sin, and turn to God. Until we come to God and experience life with Him, it is difficult to let go of sin. We are hungry for something – for God and the living water, but we have sought to satisfy that hunger for so long through sin we are certain that to give up sin, is to be left with to gnawing hunger. The only cure is to feed upon the goodness of God and be satisfied in Him, and then sin will come to lose its appeal.
