The Letter of the Law vs. The Spirit of the Law

Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

Going through Romans in Bible Study has been a great experience. I found out much regarding the power of salvation over sin that I never really realized I could tap into.

But then I was reminded again today, by this verse, and by a sister that it is futile if we grasp all the principles of salvation and what God could do through us, if we fail to love.

I pray that my heart will always be tender for the lost and not have its senses hardened by the businesses and busyness of life. For the Spirit of the Law is love.

I pray that Bible Study would be life-transforming for me, and I pray that the Spirit open my eyes and see the need to love each day. And I pray that through the power of my salvation that has already won over sin, I have daily victory over my flesh and go out of my comfort zone to love, and to share His heartbeat for people.

And I thank God for Anna's little encouragement and reminder on Facebook to seek God even in absorbers and kinetic reactors :) For He is indeed everywhere.
