VERSE:
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and
for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the
law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but
after the Spirit.
-- Romans 8:3-4

THOUGHT:
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 well
beyond what any law would require (cf. Gal. 5:22-23). While the Law
can teach us God's will and reveal to us what is sinful, the Law
can't fix our sinfulness nor empower us to live according to God's
will. The Holy Spirit, on the other hand, can cleanse, transform,
empower, and inspire us to be what God calls us to be in ways no
law can. Let's thank God for his amazing and wonderful presence in
us through his Spirit!
PRAYER:
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew me by your Spirit
dwelling within me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
