As a Christian my ultimate enemy is Sin. I must become a sin killing machine. If I am not killing sin then sin is killing me. Before I was saved I had a gun (my will) but it had no bullets so any sin I pointed my gun at and shot was not affected. I could bludgeon my sin with the gun but the sin would ultimately prevail; bullets are the only thing that can mortally kill the sin. When I became saved, the Lord put His power into my gun (bullets) -> now I can kill sin! But, I still must pull the trigger. Now that I have my gun with sin killing bullets, I need sights that help me zero in on the sin – I better my sights by reading the word of God, the truth that calls out the sin in my life.
