"Sin is a domineering force. No one can sin up to a fixed point and then say to sin, 'This is a far as you go.' Sin is an imperious power, and where it dwells it is hungry for the mastery. Just as our Lord, when He enters the soul, will never be content with divided dominion, so it is with sin. Sin labors to bring our entire personality under subjection.
Hence, we are compelled to strive daily against this ambitious principle. According to the working of the Spirit of God in us, we wrestle against sin that it may not have dominion over us. Sin has unquestioned dominion over multitudes of human hearts, and in some it has set up its horrid throne and keeps it seat with force of arms so that is empire is undisturbed. In others, the throne is disputed, for the conscience mutinies, but yet the tyrant is not dethroned. Over the whole world, sin exercises its dreadful tyranny. It would hold us in the same bondage were it not for the ONE who is stronger than sin who has undertaken to deliver us out of its hand. Here is the charter of our liberty, the security of our safety: 'Sin shall not have dominion over you!'"
"For sin shall NOT have dominion over you; for you are NOT under the law, but under grace!" (Romans 6:14)
