My laptop has a virus and I’m pretty bummed about it. My once fast computer with high-speed Internet is now sluggish, infuriatingly slow, ineffective and achieving far less than it’s potential. I’ve tried all I know to do to remove the problem, but to no avail. I will have to send it to the I.T. department of my company.
In life, we are all born with a similar problem, a fleshly nature bent toward sin. And this problem robs us of our full potential to serve and worship God as we were created to do. Faith in Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection redeems us in our relationship with God, but this sin problem requires surgery.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The bible is alive, and can, with power, cut away that sin. It can divide between what originates in your spirit and what is soulish or fleshly. God’s word will build your faith, instruct you, rebuke you, and lay the foundation for righteousness in your life. So go under the knife of God’s word daily and let the Lord transform you into what He intends you to be!
