Spirit-empowered Life

Scripture: 4 My brothers and sisters, in the same way, you have died when it comes to the law because of your connection with the body of the Anointed One. His death— and your death with Him —frees you to belong to the One who was raised from the dead so we can bear fruit for God. 5 As we were living in the flesh, the law could not solve the problem of sin; it only awakened our lust for more and cultivated the fruit of death in our bodily members. 6 But now that we have died to those chains that imprisoned us, we have been released from the law to serve in a new Spirit-empowered life, not the old written code. (Romans 7:4-6 The Voice) The law in and of itself was not/is not the answer to living as we should. We do not throw out the law, but let it help us to know right from wrong. But beyond the law, we have been given the Holy Spirit. We can, if our hearts are open, now live a new Spirit-empowered life. Yes, Lord, I open my heart to Your Holy Spirit, so that I can more and more live a Spirit-empowered life. You are good, and I know that You have unfailing love for me. Thank You. AMEN Because of Your unfailing love, Lord, I will praise and worship You. Lead me in the right path and tell me clearly what to do. Psalm 35
