Gooooood Morning!
How are things going out there? Fighting the good fight? Stayin' on your feet? TRUUUUU! Thanks for the prayers and such, my Grandma is feelin' better. When I went to visit her last weekend (not this past weekend, the weekend before), she was back home and doin' alright. Aight, on to... da Word!
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
- Paul (Romans 6:12)
Ohhh! It's my dawg Paul again, droppin' some knowledge! TRUUU! Romans is a good book potnas. Paul just lays it out from the fundamental problem to the ultimate solution. Peep this book if you haven't yet! But n e who, let's get down and dirty with this verse right here.
In this chapter, Paul talks about Christ's death and resurrection, and the purpose behind it. Da Christ died for us, to pay da ultimate price for sin. In other words, he done set us free by dying. And then by being raised up, he gave death the ol' one-two TKO... BAM...BAAAAAAAM! So not only did homeboy pay da price, he also wiped out any power death has got. Paul then drops the good news that if we then "die" with Christ, we too can bust open a PHAT can o' whuppin' on death. But what does it mean to "die" with Christ?
It means turnin' a new leaf, changing our perspective, trying to be like Christ. It means allowing our old self to die, and taking on this new self, one with MUCH greater rewards mind you ;-D TRUUUU! In short, it's being "dead to sin, and alive in Christ." WORD! So checkit potnas, if we just pulled a 180, and now are walking towards Pops instead of away, does it make sense for us to allow sin to reign within our bodies? NAW LO!!! We got to kick that to the curb son! Cuz just as the verse says, if we let that good for nuthin', low down and dirty junk reign within' our bodies.... we will be a straight slave to evil desires! It's a one to one correlation here potnas. Junk in, junk out.
Forget that yo! Let's start feeding our being with some of the good stuff, and weaning ourselves off the bad stuff. Cuz the bad stuff only serves to bring ya down, to hurt ya, clog them arteries, make ya tired, and slowly kill ya. But the good stuff, yeah buddy! The good stuff will bring ya up, heal ya, make sure them pathways are straight clear for the blood to flow like a river, boost your energy level, make ya lean and straight HOOOOT, and surely surely bring you to LIFE. It's nice to be able to look an evil desire in the face and say, "Stand down punk! You gots no pull with me! I KNOW you don't want the beating I handed to you last time. You gots 2 seconds to scram... oh, look, time's up! Here comes da whuppin'!" With Pops, you have the power to stand.
Aight potnas, PeACE!
