经文: 叫我们不再作罪的奴仆。（罗马书六：6）
基督徒啊，你怎样对付罪恶？罪岂不是已让你付出足够代价了吗？被火烧伤的孩子啊，你将继续玩火吗？你若曾陷入狮子口中，还敢再跨入狮子笼中？你被古蛇害够了吗？它已毒害过你一次，你还敢在毒蛇的洞上嬉戏，或再将你的手置于眼镜蛇的穴上吗？不要再如此愚蠢了！罪给你任何真正的快乐吗？你在其中找到实在的满足吗？若然，你可以回到原来的贱役中再度带上锁链。但是罪从来不会给你它所应许赠予的。反之，它以谎言迷惑你，不要再陷入网罗中了。得自由吧，让以往捆绑你的记忆阻止你重堕网中。罪与永恒之爱的计划是背道而驰的。上帝愿你纯洁圣洁，不要违背你主的目的。基督徒永不能犯罪而不付代价。过犯能毁灭心思之平静、阻挡与耶稣相交、妨碍祈祷，使魂蒙上黑暗。因此，不要再作罪的奴仆了。每当你犯罪，你“把上帝的儿子重钉十字架，明明的羞辱祂。”（来六：6）你能承受那样的想法吗？在今日一天之中，你若陷入任何罪中，今晚主以此警诫将你救拔，免得你越陷越深。重新回到耶稣面前，祂并没有忘记对你的爱。祂的恩典依然。带着眼泪和悔改到祂的脚凳前来吧，你将再次被祂接纳入祂的怀中。

Scripture: “That henceforth we should not serve sin.”(Romans 6:6)
Christian, what hast thou to do with sin? Hath it not cost thee enough already? Burnt child, wilt thou play with the fire? What! when thou hast already been between the jaws of the lion, wilt thou step a second time into his den? Hast thou not had enough of the old serpent? Did he not poison all thy veins once, and wilt thou play upon the hole of the asp, and put thy hand upon the cockatrice’s den a second time? Oh, be not so mad! so foolish! Did sin ever yield thee real pleasure? Didst thou find solid satisfaction in it? If so, go back to thine old drudgery, and wear the chain again, if it delight thee. But inasmuch as sin did never give thee what it promised to bestow, but deluded thee with lies, be not a second time snared by the old fowler－ be free, and let the remembrance of thy ancient bondage forbid thee to enter the net again! It is contrary to the designs of eternal love, which all have an eye to thy purity and holiness; therefore run not counter to the purposes of thy Lord. Another thought should restrain thee from sin. Christians can never sin cheaply; they pay a heavy price for iniquity. Transgression destroys peace of mind, obscures fellowship with Jesus, hinders prayer, brings darkness over the soul; therefore be not the serf and bondman of sin. There is yet a higher argument: each time you “serve sin” you have “Crucified the Lord afresh, and put him to an open shame.” Can you bear that thought? Oh! if you have fallen into any special sin during this day, it may be my Master has sent this admonition this evening, to bring you back before you have backslidden very far. Turn thee to Jesus anew; he has not forgotten his love to thee; his grace is still the same. With weeping and repentance, come thou to his footstool, and thou shalt be once more received into his heart; thou shalt be set upon a rock again, and thy goings shall be established.
