But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. — Romans 7:6 KJV

Reflection
As modern believers, this verse encourages us to embrace the freedom and new life we have in Christ. It calls us to live beyond mere rule-keeping and to cultivate a deep, Spirit-led relationship with God. We are invited to experience the fullness of life that comes from walking in the Spirit, allowing His presence to guide our thoughts, actions, and decisions.
We are no longer slaves to the law and sin, but children of God, living in the freedom and power of the Spirit. Let us embrace this new way of living, serving God with joy and gratitude, empowered by His Spirit to fulfill His will in our lives.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to walk in the fruit of the Spirit, displaying love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in all areas of my life. I pray that my life be a testimony of Your grace and a reflection of Your love.
Thank You, Lord, for the great gift of freedom in Christ. I surrender myself to You, desiring to serve You in the new way of the Spirit. Lead me, guide me, and empower me to live a life that brings glory to Your name.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
