Romans
7:25
"Thanks be
to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my
mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature, a slave to the law of
sin." NIV
"I thank God
through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of
God; but with the flesh the law of sin." KJV
Do we really grasp
the captivity of sin that Christ freed us from by His death and resurrection? We
are free to make a conscious decision to live the way our Lord intends for us to
live. We no longer have to be enslaved by temptation and ungodly ways. When we
get our minds off God, it is natural for us to fall back into our old fleshly
ways. If we commit ourselves to engulf ourselves in communion with God and His
Word, we will stay safely in the freedom for which Christ paid such a precious
price.
Heavenly Father,
how we praise You that You sent Your Son to set us free from our own fleshly
natures and from the grasp of Satan. Give us more hunger for Your Word and to
spend time in quiet communion with You so that we will not fall back into our
old natures. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
