GOD REWARDS OUR RECKONING
“Reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -ROMANS 6:11
We
do not reckon something to be so after we see it happen, but before we
see it happen. What happens if, right after we reckon ourselves dead to
sin, we fall back into sin? Does this nullify the Word of God? Does this
make God a liar? We can become disappointed and quit (which is what
most people do), or we can repent and go right back to reckoning.
Here’s
what happens: God rewards our reckoning. He delights to see us
believing in His Word when it seems impossible! And so He says, “Very
well, you have believed having not seen; now you will begin to see the
truth of what you have been reckoning!” And eventually we begin to see
that our reckoning begins to produce fruit. Sin will be broken, not just
in theory, but in actual practice. Victory will be ours, not just in
principle, but in fact.
