Part 17
(6:11-14)

HOW TO EXPERIENCE VICTORY OVER SIN

1) Reckon yourself __dead__ to sin. (11)

2) __Overthrow__ sin's reign in your life. (12)

(Psalm 119:133) "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me."

(Psalm 19:7-14) "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
