Thank You For Being Here 🌟Romans 7:6 But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit. Romans 7:7 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, "You must not covet." Romans 7:8 But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power. In the Old Testament: Exodus 20:14 You must not commit adultery. In the New Testament: Matthew 5:27 You have heard the commandment that says, 'You must not commit adultery.' Matthew 5:28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Romans 7:9 At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life. Galatians 5:16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. Galatians 5:17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. Galatians 5:18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. Galatians 5:19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, Galatians 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, Galatians 5:21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Galatians 5:22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Galatians 5:24 NLT Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Galatians 5:25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. Proverbs 12:3 Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.
