Any Sin Can Be Ovecome With Love

Description

We're all imperfect. We all do selfish things that hurt others and we all live with regrets. And, yes, we are destined to die. That is the nature of sin.

But when most people hear about overcoming sin, it feels impersonal and vague, like it's just a concept. But, once you realize that God overcame sin through Christ and that God is love, suddenly it's not an impersonal or vague concept. It's something real and tangible.

When you truly, deeply love someone unconditionally, you forgive them no matter what they've done and you help them to become a better person, strengthening them with your love. That is the nature of love and that is the nature of God. Even death has been conquered by the sacrificial love of our Creator.

But many people get bogged down with understanding the process of overcoming sin because they believe that they must appease God by not sinning and then God will forgive them and their sins. But, if that were true, that wouldn't be God overcoming sin, but us overcoming sin.

Instead, we simply turn to God and God's nature is love, which forgives and makes us better. If we focus not on our sin but on God, the power of sin diminishes and the power of God in our life strengthens. This isn't ignoring a problem. It's focusing on the solution.

So, the next time you hear that God overcomes sin and you get confused how, remember that God is love. Then you'll understand how any sin can be overcome with love.
