‘We Can Serve God In A New Way.’
Romans 7:4-6.
a)
Romans 7:4. This is written for the Body of
Christ.

Romans 7:4. We died to the power of the Law
when we died with Christ.

we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us,
and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds,
resulting in death.

Romans 7:6. Now
we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the Law, but in

When God’s Commands are in our heart our life becomes

wants. We can serve God in humility and with honesty. The Psalmist encourages
us to hide the Word of God in our hearts and I would say that is excellent
counsel.
