In the remaining verses in this chapter sin is set before us in two graphic illustrations: It is likened to an old king who is now defeated (vv. 12-14) and it is likened unto an old king who is now deposed (vv. 15-23). Three words in this chapter summarize the secret of making the principles of victory practical in our life. These words are “know,” “reckon,” and “yield.” Through Jesus Christ we have been delivered from the dominion (control) of sin. In these verses we find both the moral and spiritual principles involved in this truth:
Paul uses an illustration of master and slave to show how the believer does not depend on his own efforts for victory, but on the abundant supply of God’s grace. However, no person can expect victory who doesn’t really want victory. Furthermore, no person can expect victory who has a soft attitude toward sin (Jeremiah 29:13). The attitude that grace gives us license to sin makes deliverance from sin’s power impossible. As long as we have that attitude sin will remain our master.
Application
