Do You Live in Victory?
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.”
Psalm 51:7-9

Ponder This
I heard of a man pardoned from prison by the Queen of England. A messenger went to this man who had languished in the jail cell for so long and said, “Listen, I’ve got wonderful news. The Queen has pardoned you. You’re a free man.” The prisoner showed no emotion. The messenger said, “Don’t you understand? You’re a free man. The Queen has set you free.” At that moment, the prisoner unbuttoned his shirt, drew it back, and said, “Look at that.” In his chest was a cancerous growth that was eating away his life and would soon cause his death. He said, “Ask the Queen what she can do about this.” It’s not enough that you be kept out of Hell. You need to be saved not only from the penalty of sin but also from the pollution of sin. You need to be made pure and changed from the inside out.
When we surrender to Christ, we’re saved from the penalty of sin; we’re saved from the pollution of sin; and we’re saved from the power of sin. Sin shall no longer have dominion over you: the devil has no authority, and the world has no allurement. Sin has no attraction that the child of God cannot now overcome through Jesus Christ who gives us the victory, day by day. We don’t have to obey the demands of sin anymore because the Savior lives within us.
- What are some sins God has purged from your heart?
- How has sin polluted you? What are some scars it has caused?
