Romans exhaustively deals with the nature of sin and its devastation. It also clearly identifies what Christ did in His death to nullify the consequences of sinful behavior in our lives. Revealed are the two natures that war within us … the Law and the Spirit.

Through Christ’s power and presence living in us, we can choose to give the Spirit what it desires in our lives rather than be bound to obey our sin nature.

Ask yourself the question … do I want to please God or my own sinful nature. God’s way is always best.

PRAYER: Father, apart from Christ our Savior we are miserable. You have set us free from sin and death and made us alive to serve You. We choose You.
