Freedom from sin

The People of Israel said to God: “We’ve sinned. Do to us whatever you think best, but please, get us out of this!” ~ Judges 10:15 (MSG)

Let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. ~ Hebrews 12:1b (GNT)

KEY IDEA:
We need to get rid of the sin that holds onto us and which keeps us from running for Jesus at the level he'd like us to compete.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for the forgiveness that was given to us through the actions of Christ Jesus. Help me to release the sins which don't just cling to me but which I also hold onto. I need to be free to run for Jesus. Amen.
