Of course, willfully continuing in sin, making no effort to leave it behind, is great abuse of an even greater grace! So, who is it going to be? You choose! Are you still living like you belong to your old master. Do you understand the great expense Jesus Christ paid to buy you back? Think: about it: whose commands are shaping your daily life, habits and choices? Do you see some change or growth; are you becoming what you are meant to be?
Maybe, you have never trusted Christ. Face the reality of who you are: you’re going to serve somebody. Stop working for a paycheck of death and accept God’s free gift of life today.

JOHN PIPER: If sin is reigning in your mortal body and you are a Christian, it is because you let it reign. But you do not have to let it reign.
