"For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do." (Romans 7: 19)
“Is it the right thing or the wrong thing?" This inner dialogue you will drive yourself crazy.
For me, I had spent so much of my life believing that nothing was worth it, because the sense of “wrongdoing” would never go away in my life. Nothing then seemed worthwhile to me.
The sense of “wrongdoing” is a conscience of sin, something which we have been set free from.
"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Hebrews 9: 14)
Yet as long as that sense of “wrongdoing” persisted, then why try anything? It would never be worth it!
Sin cannot stop grace in our lives:
"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:" (Romans 5: 20)
Why does Satan use the law against us? To distract us from the unsearchable riches within us!
The law is not for a righteous person, but for sinners (1 Timothy 1: 7). You and I , who are in Christ, we are no longer sinners, but we are saints. Saints do not need the law, which belongs to the world, full of men and women who are dead in their trespasses:
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?" (1 Corinthians 6: 1)
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?" (1 Corinthians 6: 1)
The law is a done deal, as far as God is concerned The law is a done deal, fulfilled in Christ Jesus! (Matthew 5: 17) Now, we have his love to empower us from within!:
"We love him, because he first loved us." (1 John 4: 19)
"We love him, because he first loved us." (1 John 4: 19)
Do not busy yourself with right and wrong—get busy in righteousness, and let his life live through you!
