A.W. Tozer's materials are a mainstay in Evangelical churches in our day and he is one of the most quoted authors. He was a prophet in his day and his writings are even more influential in our day. One of his books: The Pursuit of God, has had over 1 million copies sold world-wide.

Man - The Dwelling Place of God - How to Try the Spirits

Christ in a believer's heart will act the same as He acted in Galilee and Judea. His disposition is the same now as then. He was holy, righteous, compassionate, meek and humble then, and He has not changed. He is the same wherever He is found, whether it be at the right hand of God or in the nature of a true disciple. He was friendly, loving, prayerful, kindly, worshipful, self-sacrificing while walking among men; is it not reasonable to expect Him to be the same when walking in men" Why then do true Christians sometimes act in an un-Christlike manner" Some would assume that when a professed Christian fails to show forth the moral beauty of Christ in his life it is a proof that he has been deceived and is actually not a real Christian at all. But the explanation is not so simple as that. The truth is that while Christ dwells in the believer's new nature, He has strong competition from the believer's old nature. The warfare between the old and the new goes on continually in most believers. This is accepted as inevitable, but the New Testament does not so teach. A prayerful study of Romans 6 to 8 points the way to victory. If Christ is allowed complete sway He will live in us as He lived in Galilee.

Tension Between the Old Nature and the New

WHAT a precious promise. How many of the Lord's people have been cheered and encouraged by it. Sin lives in us, works in us, fights in us, but it shall not reign. It may annoy, it shall not destroy. Its authority is destroyed by the Lord; its power is weakened by grace; it is warned to quit its old residence, and it will soon be ejected. We are not under the condemning power of the law, it is not our rule of justification, but we are under favour; God dealeth with us as with children. He pardons, pities, and delivers us. He will not allow sin to hold us in perpetual bondage, or to condemn us at the last day; but He will set us at liberty, and justify us fully. The flesh will lust against the Spirit, corruption will rise and fight; but we shall be strengthened, assisted, and counselled until we finally overcome. Grace shall reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. The law will be honoured in our endless blessedness, and Jesus will be glorified in us throughout eternity. By grace we are saved.On such love, my soul, still ponder, Love so great, so rich, so free! Say, while lost in holy wonder, Why, O Lord, such love to me Hallelujah, Grace shall reign eternally.

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer

"Sin shall not have dominion over you." Romans 6:14

BELIEVERS are delivered from the law, and are dead to it; they are married to Christ, and are alive unto God as a God of love. The curse is removed, sin is atoned for, and we stand as high in the favour of God as we possibly can. We should look upon ourselves as the favourites of God, His beloved children, whom He hath reconciled to Himself by the death of His Son. Grace reigns over us, rules in us, provides for us, and will glorify us. Why then should we fear? Of whom should we be afraid? Sin is pardoned. The law is magnified. Justice is satisfied. God is at peace with us; yea, He delights in us. The world is overcome for us, and even Satan shall be bruised under our feet shortly. What shall we say to these things? As God is for us, and with us, who shall injure, or prevail against us? All things must work together for good; nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God; we shall be more than conquerors through Him who loved us; and why? Because we are not under the law, but under grace. Because Jesus lives, we shall live also.On Jesus only I depend, He is my Father, God, and Friend, My Prophet, King, and Priest; Had I an angel's holiness, I'd cast aside that glorious dress, And wrap me up in Christ.

"Ye are under grace." Romans 6:14

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Romans 6:14 Sin will reign if it can: it cannot be satisfied with any place below the throne of the heart. We sometimes fear that it will conquer us, and then we cry unto the LORD, "Let not any iniquity have dominion over me." This is His comforting answer: "Sin shall not have dominion over you." It may assail you and even wound you, but it shall never establish sovereignty over you. If we were under the law, our sin would gather strength and hold us under its power; for it is the punishment of sin that a man comes under the power of sin. As we are under the covenant of grace, we are secured against departing from the living God by the sure declaration of the covenant. Grace is promised to us by which we are restored from our wanderings, cleansed from our impurities, and set free from the chains of habit. We must lie down in despair and be "content to serve the Egyptians" if we were still as slaves working for eternal life; but since we are the LORD's free men, we take courage to fight with [our] temptations, being assured that sin shall never bring us under its sway again. God Himself giveth us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Charles Spurgeon's Faith's Checkbook

The LORD's Free Men

A most important declaration to him who has fled over the borders, and taken refuge in the kingdom of God. For sin is now hateful to him, and the idea of being made again to bow under its sceptre, intolerable. He is now in a novel region. Before, even all his days, sin had dominion over him, an undivided sway. He found out the cruelty of that dominion, and, trusting in a divine promise, dared to flee. He is now made aware that all the powers of darkness are irritated greatly, and are fierce in pursuit. They cry in his ear, that his flight has been in vain, and that he will soon be brought again under the dominion of sin. And at times also, it seems as though he were being dragged again to the dread dark region; that he will not be able to continue in God's marvellous light. Then he hears the delightful declaration that sin shall not have dominion over him; an assurance that gives him amazing strength, and enables him to slay more enemies than Samson did. Made partaker of the divine nature by this exceeding great and precious promise, he bids his foes observe that he is no longer the weak and helpless captive whom they once knew. They are amazed to see how their once-deadly darts are now turned aside by his shield; how their weapons are shivered against his breast-plate; and how the sword in his hand compels them to flee. " What! this slave a warrior? this captive a free man? this creature of our will, a defier of our sovereignty? - a scorner of us and our millions?" Even so. The prince of this world is cast out from a region where Christ and the followers of Christ have found a footing; a region whose limits must expand, till the god of this world has fought his last battle and sunk to his appropriate locality.

A daily devotional written by a Baptist Missionary to India, Reverend George Bowen (1816-1888) over 150 years ago.

Bowen's Daily Meditations

" Sin shall not have dominion over you." - Romans 6:14. 

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! § My brethren, you … have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. § Not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ. § The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. § Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Daily Light on the Daily Path or Daily Light is a Christian daily devotional scripture reading published by Bagster & Sons about 1875. It has been reprinted continually since then. It consists of brief groupings of scripture passages which speak to prominent Biblical themes—two themes (morning and evening) for each day of the year. It appends no commentary, but simply allows scripture to speak for itself.

Morning Daily Light

 Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 

I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. § Who can forgive sins but God alone? I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. § Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity. § Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity? God in Christ forgave you. § The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. § Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace … Having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

 Your sins are forgiven you.

For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law but under grace" (<a id="verse_1632880204947132" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/14">Rom 6:14</a>)
</blockquote>The believer's attitude toward the law is that it is "holy...and just, and good" (<a id="verse_1632880204753609" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/7/12">Rom. 7:12</a>). He does not belittle it by refusing to be under it; he honors it by acknowledging its fulfillment. "For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I might live unto God" (<a id="verse_1632880204236794" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Galatians/2/19">Gal. 2:19</a>)."If I say I am under law, and stop there, I am left in spiritual anarchy. If I say I am under law and under grace, I am in the current Galatian heresy which seeks to combine law and grace. But if I say I am not under the law but under grace, I am giving a biblical and Christian testimony." -C.I.S."Our identification with Christ in His death places us in perfect reconciliation to a violated law. God has said, The soul that sinneth, it shall die.' The believer has sinned, and has died in Christ's death. The law has said, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.' None have continued in obedience. But Christ has been made a curse for us'; for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.' Hence, crucified with Christ, we have been accursed in Him. Not one jot or tittle has then passed away from the law, but all has been fulfilled." -A.J.G."If, then, when you died with Christ, you put away the childish lessons of outward things, why, as though you still lived in outward things, do you submit yourselves to decrees?" (<a id="verse_1632880204603384" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Colossians/2/20">Col. 2:20</a>, Wey.).

None but the Hungry Heart

 Fulfilled Law 

<blockquote>
The God of peace . . . working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ" (<a id="verse_1632880309658240" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Hebrews/13/20">Heb. 13:20</a>; <a id="verse_1632880309276258880" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Hebrews/13/21">21</a>).
</blockquote>Abiding involves a dual choice. We can abide in the old nature and thereby become the victims of the internal civil war as depicted in Romans Seven. Or, we can abide (rest) in the risen Lord Jesus, the Source of our new nature, and thereby become the glad recipients of His life and liberty, as depicted in Romans Eight. "The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death" (<a id="verse_1632880309357821" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/8/2">Rom. 8:2</a>)."How do we abide? Of God are ye in Christ Jesus' (<a id="verse_1632880309976006" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/1-Corinthians/1/30">1 Cor. 1:30</a>). It is all the work of God to place you there, and He has done it. Now stay there! Do not be moved back onto the ground of the old nature. Never look at yourself as though you were not in the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Look at Him and see yourself a new creation in Him. Look at Him as the very source of your Christian life. Abide in Him. Rest in the fact that God has placed you in eternal union with His Son, and let the Holy Spirit take care of His work in you. It is for Him to make good the glorious promise that sin shall not have dominion over you' (<a id="verse_1632880309218128" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/14">Rom. 6:14</a>).""We should be spared years of struggle and failure if we learned at once - as the converts did in the days of Paul - that we ourselves were taken through the death of the Lord Jesus. The past blotted out, the pardoned sinner accounted crucified with the crucified Lord, henceforth joined as a new creation to the risen Lord and now sharing His life (<a id="verse_1632880309553539" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/5/10">Rom. 5:10</a>).""The Lord Jesus is all that we need for all that we are.""Your life is hidden with Christ in God" (<a id="verse_1632880309634454" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Colossians/3/3">Col. 3:3</a>).

 Position Possessed 

<blockquote>
Sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law but under grace" (<a id="verse_1632880641539776" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/14">Rom. 6:14</a>).
</blockquote>Grace forsaken is freedom forfeited."In considering the whole testimony of the Bible, it is almost as important for the believer who would do the will of God to recognize that which does not concern him as it is for him to recognize that which does concern him."It is obvious that, apart from the knowledge of dispensational truth, the believer will not be intelligently adjusted to the present purpose and will of God in the world. Such knowledge alone will save him from assuming the hopeless legality of the dispensation that is past or from undertaking the impossible world transforming program belonging to the dispensation which is to come." -W.S.C."The Law of Moses is interrelated and wholly dependent on the sacrifices and ritual provided for Israel in the land. The laws of the kingdom (Sermon on the Mount) are only related to the future kingdom conditions which shall be in the earth under the power and presence of the King when Satan is bound, creation delivered, and all shall know the Lord from the least unto the greatest."All harmony of truth is shattered when there is the slightest commingling of the principles of law and grace. Grace alone now reigns through Christ to the glory of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."“By the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace, which was bestowed upon me, was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me” (<a id="verse_1632880641477939" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/1-Corinthians/15/10">1 Cor. 15:10</a>).

 Gratuitous Grace 

<blockquote>
They who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" (<a id="verse_1632880767518084" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/5/17">Rom. 5:17</a>).
</blockquote>Law and grace are separated by the infinite chasm of the Cross. Law required right conduct first, with earthly position to be earned thereby. Grace gives heavenly position immediately, which ultimately produces right conduct. "Ye are not under the law, but under grace" (<a id="verse_1632880767287634" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/14">Rom. 6:14</a>)."The believer does not walk in order to reach the throne. On the contrary. His walk is determined by the fact that he has been placed with the Lord Jesus in a position of immeasurable ascendancy. He has been made to sit together with Christ in heavenly places in order that, having received an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, he might reign in life by one, even the Lord Jesus."He walks like a king because he is a king (<a id="verse_1632880767804931" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/1/6">Rev. 1:6</a>). He is not called upon to walk in kingly fashion in order that he may reach the throne. God's order is different. The Christian begins at the throne and his kingly manner is only the inevitable outcome of his exalted position."Our frustrations and agonies in an effort to attain the unattainable, our shame and our defeats such as we find in Paul's own experience tabulated so faithfully in Romans 7, come about naturally and inevitably when, failing to grasp all this, we put the emphasis on our conduct rather than our position, which must come first." -F.J.H."Unto Him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us a kingdom of priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever" (<a id="verse_1632880767452337" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/1/5">Rev. 1:5</a>; <a id="verse_1632880767581098307" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Revelation/1/6">6</a>).

 Positional Conduct 

<blockquote>
For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace" (<a id="verse_1632877292675592" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/14">Rom. 6:14</a>).
</blockquote>Hatred for others comes easy for some; but to fully hate one's old man comes hard for all. The Lord Jesus loves us too much to allow us to go on loving ourselves."The Christian's victory is not over others, but over himself. His sword is drawn, not to slay his fellowman, but to slay himself. He wins by losing. He triumphs by being defeated. He lives by dying. His crown is a crown of thorns. His throne is a Cross. His weapon is not strength but weakness."His victory is not found in establishing his own cause but in establishing that of his fellow-men; the poor, the sick, the disinherited, the brokenhearted, the wayward, the lost. This may be foolishness to men. But we must not forget that the foolishness of God is stronger than men' (<a id="verse_1632877292376539" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/1-Corinthians/1/25">1 Cor. 1:25</a>). -F.J.H."How blessed it is to know, and at the same time how solemn to realize, that the sin of the child of God is against his Father, and that it is the love of relationship that is called into exercise about it - love which acts towards us for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness'" (<a id="verse_1632877292829556" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Hebrews/12/10">Heb. 12:10</a>)."It is impossible that He should treat it lightly; and it will be impossible in the end for any one of His own to treat it lightly either. Grace abides towards us; and because grace abides, sin cannot be permitted to have sway over the objects of it." -W.K."Let not sin, therefore, reign. . . " (<a id="verse_1632877292778961" href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Romans/6/12">Rom. 6:12</a>).

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
