But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. — Romans 6:17 KJV
But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered. — Romans 6:17 ASV
Reflection
Obeying from the heart signifies a deep, sincere commitment to living according to God’s will. It is not merely about external compliance but an internal transformation driven by love and gratitude for God’s mercy. This obedience stems from a recognition of the grace we have received and a desire to live in a way that honors God.
We must therefore continually give thanks to God for our deliverance from sin and to embrace our new identity in Christ. Our allegiance is now to Him, and this calls us to live a life marked by righteousness and devotion. As we grow in our faith, let us always remember the profound change that God has wrought in our lives and strive to reflect His love and grace in all that we do.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, strengthen me to live according to Your will. Guide my steps and help me to grow in righteousness each day. When I face temptations and challenges, remind me of the freedom I have in Christ and the new identity I hold as Your beloved child.
Thank You for Your endless grace and the new life I have in You. I pray that my actions, thoughts, and words always bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
