What do you mean I am sick...

Scripture:
Romans 6:14-23 (NIV)

¹⁴For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. ¹⁵What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! ¹⁶Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? ¹⁷But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. ¹⁸You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

 ¹⁹I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. ²⁰When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. ²¹What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! ²²But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. ²³For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in^[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.

I read an article that talked about benefits to kissing.  Kissing isn't just for swapping spit.  According to the article kissing can help boost the immune system.  When you kiss you spread germs from one person to the next.  Your body will then start making antibodies to kill the new bugs.

Sin in our lives are similar to viruses.  It spreads and grows not only within us but those around us.  Left unchecked sin can spread like a pandemic from one person to the next.  We influence each other in multiple ways.  We have all heard "Oh what can it hurt..." "Just one time wont hurt anything..." the reasoning and excuses can go on and on.  

So how do we build up our immunity?  How can we get the cure?  The solution is simple; our cure is Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.  The forgiveness of our sins through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is the cure.  The immunity we need is the Holy Spirit.  If we allow ourselves to be filled by the Holy Spirit we will have no room in our lives for sin.  We can spread the cure just as easily as we can spread the disease.  Be a light for Christ and shine long and bright filling all corners.  

Prayer:

            Jesus You are the only cure to the disease we have called sin.  We want to praise you and thank you for all you have done.  We pray that you will help us to say no to temptation and to be a beacon of Christianity for others to see Christ in us.  Give us strength, guidance, and fill us with your hope and love.  We pray for the peace that only You can give…
