VERSE:

VERSE: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through theflesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, andfor sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of thelaw might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, butafter the Spirit. -- Romans 8:3-4 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+8:3-4&translation=kjvTHOUGHT: When the Spirit lives in us, we don't need a law to guide us.The Spirit produces the character that God desires and that is wellbeyond what any law would require (cf. Gal. 5:22-23). While the Lawcan teach us God's will and reveal to us what is sinful, the Lawcan't fix our sinfulness nor empower us to live according to God'swill. The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, can cleanse, transform,empower, and inspire us to be what God calls us to be in ways nolaw can. Let's thank God for his amazing and wonderful presence inus through his Spirit!PRAYER: Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew me by your Spiritdwelling within me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
