Savior from What?

If Christ is your Savior, what do you believe He saved you from? This 1-minute devotion challenges us to take on a Biblical view about sin and salvation. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible

Christ is not only our Savior from the consequences of our sins; He is also our Savior from sin itself.(1)

When we follow Christ, we do more than accept His forgiveness. We become a new person who longs to please Him (2 Corinthians 5:17; John 14:21). Our sins bother us (1 John 3:9).

We won’t be perfect this side of heaven, but Christians are constantly moving toward that goal, seeking God's will and purposes (Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 5:1-20).

So let's remember these truths:

1. God always provides a way out of temptation, but we must take it (1 Corinthians 10:13).

2. We can’t do the right things in our own strength, but we can do them in Christ’s strength (Philippians 4:13).

3. We still have sinful desires, but they'll become less prevalent as we renew our mind in God’s Word (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22-24).

Are you struggling with sinful desires? I encourage you to read Ephesians 5:1-20 every morning this week.
