5/25 Romans 7:5-6
5 When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced sinful deeds, resulting in death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, for we died with Christ, and we are no longer captive to its power. Now we can really serve God, not in the old way by obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way, by the Spirit.
LIFE
Jesus gives us real life. We were once dead in our trespasses and sin but now we are alive in Jesus Christ. His power enables us to receive His grace so that we might live moment by moment under His guidance and direction.
