Have no confidence in sin

 

For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh. Philippians 3:3 NIV

 

One thing you should be careful about is boasting of your past, sinful ways or something you love doing that is contrary to Christ. You may have been involved in some evil things before you got born again. As far as you are now new in Christ don’t boast of your past anymore. For instance, before you got born again, you were a person that is used to getting angry to the extent of fighting those that make you flare-up. If people flare you up again and you still repeat what you do in the past, you are boasting of the flesh (sin). 

Let your confidence be in Jesus. Let your situation be as if it were experienced by Christ. If you assume Jesus to be in your shoes, you will know how Christ will react to your situations. 

The Bible gave us a remedy for falling back to flesh; and that remedy is being led by the spirit of God always. 

Galatians 5:16 “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” KJV.

 

When you are led by the spirit of God, you will not be moved by the desire of the flesh, you will not boast in sin and your past again.

 

Dear reader, I am glad you are blessed today. Have no confidence in the flesh, rather have confidence in Jesus and He will make your ways plain. Always be led by His Spirit, through this you will have no confidence in sin anymore. God bless you. 

 

Prayer: Lord Jesus help me put my confidence in you and give me victory over every confidence I have in the flesh.
