DEAD TO THE LAW

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Do you not know brothers and sisters,

for I am speaking to those who are

acquainted with the Law, that the legal claims

have power over a person only for as

long as he or she is alive?

For instance, a married woman is bound

by law to her husband as long as he lives,

but if her husband dies, she is discharged

from the law concerning her husband.

Accordingly, if while her husband lives,

she marries another man, she will be

called an adulteress, but if her husband

dies, she is free from that law, so that

if she marries another man she is not an

adulteress.

Likewise my brothers and sisters you

have undergone death as to the Law

through the crucified body of Christ,

so that you may now belong to Another,

to Him Who was raised from the dead

in order that we may bear fruit to God.

( Romans 7.1-4).

Consider this and meditate:

1) The Law stipulated the codes

of behavior that is accepted by God.

2) We are alive in a new way which

brings about true righteousness,

spiritual life and eternal union with

God through our Lord  and Savior Jesus

Christ who rose from the dead and brought

about our justification and sanctification.

EVERLASTING LIFE

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

And having been set free from sin,

you became servants of righteousness.

I speak in human terms because of the

weakness of your flesh. For just as you

presented your members as servants

of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading

to more lawlessness, so now present your

members as servants of righteousness for

holiness.

For when you were servants of sin, you

were free in regard to righteousness.

What fruit did you have then in the things

of which you are now ashamed? For the

end of those things is death.

But now having been set free from sin

and having become servants of God,

you have your fruit to holiness and

the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the

gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus

our Lord.

(Romans 6.18-23).

Consider and meditate on the following:

1) There are two ways of life.

2) Becoming the servant of righteousness

results in eternal life.

3) The free gift of God is eternal life in

and through union with Jesus Christ

our Lord and Savior.
