“What Reigns?”

Romans 6: 12: “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should you obey its lusts.” Geraldine, the persona of comedian Flip Wilson in the early 70s, had a tag line, “The devil made me do it!” It was good for a laugh, but a lousy excuse. The devil can’t make you do anything, as long as you remember what St. Paul said earlier: “Grace reigns!” (Romans 7: 21) If grace reigns, sin and the devil do not. Be free!
