New Testament Scriptural Side of Addictions

ADDICTION: "A man is a slave to whatever has mastered him." 2 Peter 2:19


Notes from “New Testament Scriptural Side of Addictions” 
by Pastor Steve Shermett @ BOOK OF LIFE:


I wonder could the word addiction be substituted for the word sin, even interchangeable? Since growing up in an addicted family - I escaped the major addictions and grapple with my own personal issues.

Since hearing the sermon on Sunday - I gleaned excellent steps to get loose from any addiction. I like that he gave us a real live symbol to remember them as keys in our pocket. 

Here are the 4 Keys that I wrote down:




THERE ARE FOUR EASY STEPS TO BE FREE FROM ADDICTION IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN.

1. According to Romans 6:17-18 WE ARE SET FREE FROM SIN! Choose to obey the truth of the Bible/Scripture that you have found in the teaching you receive, with all your heart.

2. Admit your problem. "Confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins." 1 Jn. 8-9

3. "Consider yourself dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but Alive to GOD living in unbroken fellowship with Him, in Christ Jesus. (AB) Romans 6:11-12 - Being Crucified with Christ means we are dead to sin. This allows us to not let sin reign in our life... OBVIOUS: it's a daily choice, dead to sin, alive to Christ.

4. Turn your will & life over to God. We have a choice to not let sin reign as king. This means to give ourself to God surrender our entire life over to him. It is better to be slaves to righteousness than to sin....
Verse 13 reads "Do not continue offering yourself to sin, but offer yourself to God. Since we are under Grace from God sin cannot have dominion over us.. READ: Romans 6:12-14 

CARVE INTO YOUR HEART GOD'S LAW - The basic foundation to being free!
