As we discussed yesterday in the service, we have all encountered the reality that when we don't live up to the law of God we are confronted with our sinfulness and our deep need for the grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. How is this reality both frustrating and encouraging at the same time? How have you found freedom in Christ when it comes to the war that goes on within us between the sinful nature and the Spirit-filled life?
"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. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit." Romans 8:1-4
