There is hope
Have you ever felt condemned and useless, feeling like you’ve got it all wrong? “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.” Romans 8:1-2
On Sunday evening Tom taught us
this verse last night and reminded us that when the words “law” are
used we can substitute “control”. So, the control of the Spirit of life
has set us free from the control of sin and death! It is easy to get
frustrated with ourselves when we fail and don’t live up to God’s
standards, but God has provided the answer in Jesus.
