Romans 7

Now, Father, by your grace, I see I am dead to the law through the body of Christ. Now this does not mean the law is sin. No! In fact, the law is holy, and your commandments are holy, just, and good.

What it does mean is that I am no longer seeking salvation based on my obeying the law. Instead, I am joined to another way of salvation, Father. I’m relying on your way of salvation through faith in Jesus who you raised from the dead.

I have been delivered from the law, so that I can serve you now, Father, in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter of the law.

Now while I live in this flesh, I will not always do what I should, and sometimes I will do the very thing you and I hate. That man is my old man who sin still dwells in.

But now, by your new birth, there is a new man in me who delights in your law. Now, I am led by that man in my thoughts and intentions until, at your appointed time, you deliver me from this death into divine eternal life.
