About resisting sin even more…

Hebrews 12:4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. (NIV)

The sin and darkness of this world want to take us down. Everywhere we turn, sin runs rampant in the lives of people. God's will is we are to resist sin at every turn. In resisting and struggling against sin, we need God's love. We must be willing to pay any price to resist the evil one. We must pray for and work for a mind full of alertness and vigilance about what the darkness wants to do to us and what the darkness is doing in the world around us. In God's love, we are to be repulsed by the sin and darkness of the world…we are to be so repulsed by the sin of the world we are willing to shed our blood to be Christ's righteous child. When we fall down, make a mistake, and receive His discipline, we are to count His discipline as joy. We are to be joyous in His discipline because He disciplines us because He loves us. To win the spiritual war in which we are engaged, we must seek to have an attitude of refusing to lose. We are to walk every step of our walk with an ultimate desire to win for Christ by resisting sin even more than ever before.
