Unholy Attachment
Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Fear often keeps us attached to our sin. We tell ourselves that we can’t let go—that the habits, desires, or temptations we’ve held onto for so long are too much to overcome. This fear is rooted in the belief that we can’t change or that we’ll fail if we try. But Scripture calls us to throw off the sin that entangles us, to break free from its grip, and to run with perseverance toward the life God has called us to live.
Sin often disguises itself as comfort. We become attached to it because it feels familiar, even when it’s destructive. We convince ourselves that letting go will be too painful, or that life without it will be too difficult. But the truth is that sin entangles us, keeping us from the fullness of life that God offers. The longer we hold on, the more it weighs us down, preventing us from running the race God has set before us. The first step to freedom is recognizing that the attachment to our sin is based on fear, not truth.
God has already made a way for us to be free. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are no longer slaves to sin—we are called to walk in the freedom of His grace. But to do that, we must take the bold step of releasing our attachment to sin. It’s not easy, but God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. When we trust in Him and step out in faith, we find the freedom and joy that sin has stolen from us. It’s time to stop letting fear keep us attached to sin and to step into the abundant life God has promised.
Prayer:
Lord, I confess that I have been attached to sins that have held me back. Help me to let go, not in my own strength but in Yours. Give me the courage to throw off the sin that entangles me and to walk in the freedom You have given me through Christ. In Jesus’ name, amen.
