Choosing Thriving in Righteousness Over Struggling with Sin.

Sometimes a struggle only serves to highlight and reinforce the negative aspects of our current situation. Focusing on sin in our life can give it more power and legitimacy, perhaps even leading to guilt. Guilt can weigh on the heart and undermine our acceptance of God’s forgiveness.

If one finds themselves dealing with sin without seeing a positive effect on their walk, a change of perspective may ease the burden.

Instead of viewing situations as necessary to avoid a sinful process, try to reinterpret each situation into a righteous process. It is the difference between a person who looks at their nutrition as a goal to avoid certain foods and face the consequences, and a person who sees it as an opportunity to learn more about new foods and cooking techniques.

The more one looks for righteous action their lives by interpreting each day through that frame first the more sin loses its grip on the mindset. Refusing to acknowledge sin denies its desire to announce its victory over lives.

Because we must remember than sin lost when Christ died for it on the cross. Ours is the mission to continue the victory of righteousness. Sometimes drowning sin out while we trumpet righteousness is the best strategy to do so.
