Romans 8:1-2 (NIV)
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for
those who are in Christ Jesus,2 because through Christ Jesus the law
of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and
death.
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are
free at last!" Becoming a Christian means we have been liberated from law
keeping. We now have God living in us through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit helps
us to know God's will and then live it. Through the Spirit's power, we can do
what no law could make us do: live up to God's standards of righteousness. We
are set free to be like God and to be with God, free from the crippling power
of law, sin, and death.
Thought for today: Do I hold others captive while I enjoy my
freedom?
