MADE NEW IN THE SPIRIT
For when we were in the flesh,
the sinful passions which were
awakened by the Law were at
work in our members bore
fruit to death.
But now we have been discharged
from the Law, having died to
what we were held by,
so that we should serve in the
newness of the Spirit
and not in the oldness
of the letter.
( Romans 7.5 and 6).
Consider these:
1) Before being reborn of the Spirit,
obeying the letter of the Law was
the order of the day.
2) After your Spiritual rebirth you
can live in new freedom to obey
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
by yielding to the promptings
of the Holy Spirit.
3) Daily thanks and praises to God
increase because of our new life.
4) All of this is made possible because
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
granted us His resurrection life
with resurrection power.
