Law

Father, I have become like one free from the law (though I am not free from your laws, but under the law of Christ.) For through the law I died to the law so that I may live to you. For it is not enough for me to hear your word, I must obey. Remind me, that if I forsake the law, I praise the wicked, but if I keep the law, I contend with them. Keep me from boasting in the law because I will dishonor you by my transgressions. Father, I delight in the your law in my inner being. But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members. Wretched person that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?  I will serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ my Lord! There is therefore now no condemnation for me because I am in Christ Jesus. For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. Praise be your glorious name forever and ever! Amen.
