Romans 7:6
6 But [de] now [nuni] we are delivered [katargeo] from [apo] the law [nomos], that being dead [apothnesko] [apothnesko] wherein [en] [hos] we were held [katecho]; that [hoste] we [hemas] should serve [douleuo] in [en] newness [kainotes] of spirit [pneuma], and [kai] not [ou] in the oldness [palaiotes] of the letter [gramma]. KJV-Interlinear
6 But now we are released from the law,
having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of
the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code. ESV
Without salvation, your life is bound to the letter of
the law. Without a functional spiritual life, your life is bound to the letter
of the law. Without the work of Christ, you have no way out from under the
letter of the law, and therefore your destiny would be only eternal
condemnation, or something that would be impossible for you to free yourself
from.
But with the work of Christ, which paid for all the
costs of death and sin, we are now free, by means of faith, from the chains of
the law.
And now that we are free, it would not make sense to
try to return to the human works pattern described by the law, when we have so
much more by means of grace.
Therefore, it would only make sense that given a new
life, a person would work within the scope of that new life, rather than return
to the old habits of the scope of the old life of the sin nature.
Unfortunately, too many people are too lazy, or to
indifferent, or simply not interested in the mandates of grace, because they
are blocked by their own self-induced arrogance, which prevents them from
listening and learning and advancing in their spiritual life.
It is far easier to get caught up in the emotion, and
the clichés, and the entertaining aspects of Christianity, and end up with
nothing, than it is to knuckle down and learn Bible doctrine, word by word,
verse by verse, precept by precept, in order to advance to something more.
These studies, are a part of the massive
daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, that is easily accessible, and are
written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and
therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
To
ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete,
unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
