Sin is a power that grips. The key to Christianity is releasing the power from the implant of God’s own Spirit in us, which displaces the power of sin. God’s implant comes into us when Christ is formed in our hearts by faith in His word. Christianity is not about teaching us to choose right ethical behavior over wrong ethical behavior, but instead, it challenges us to take grips of faith that require trusting God and His faithfulness to His promises. VF-0646. © Copyright 1989
