CHOOSE RIGHT - Dag Heward-Mills

READ: 1 John 3:7-10

He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right.

1 Peter 2:24, New Living Translation




Taking up your cross has the power to make you die to sin and live to righteousness.

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).

The cross of Jesus Christ made many people die to sin and live to righteousness. In the same way one person who makes sacrifices, inspires many people to die to sin and to live to righteousness.

Often, one person inspires many others to do something for the Lord. Mother Theresa inspired many people to live for righteousness. By taking up her cross and dying to herself she lived a life of faith in God. The life she would have lived as an ordinary woman was different from the life she lived as a nun. She died to herself and lived by faith.

“And this I pray , that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:9-11).
