Released From The Law

Do you want to bear fruit for God? Well yes, of course. But the question is how. Well it can’t happen trying to live up to the law. Paul explained why. “For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.” Our sinful passions are aroused by the law, plain and simple. Put a sign on a fence that says “Do not look through this hole” and you will see people lining up to look through the hole. That’s just the nature of the flesh. Well here is the good news. You have been released from the law and now you belong to him who has been raised from the dead – Jesus Christ himself. Trust him, and you will bear fruit for God.
