'Serving The Lord.'
a) Romans 7:6.
i - Now
ii - We have been delivered from the law.
iii - Having died to what we were held by.
iv - So that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit.
v - And not in the oldness of the letter.
b) Romans 6:22.
i - But now
ii - Having been set free from sin,
iii - And having become slaves of God,
iv - You have your fruit to Holiness,
v - And the end - Everlasting Life.
c) Romans 7:4.
i - We have become dead to the Law through the Body of Christ -
ii - That you may be married to another -
iii - To Him that was raised from the dead,
iv - That we should bear fruit to God.
(Through this QT I find clear motivation for Serving The Lord)
PRAYER: For us to have the right attitude regarding Serving The Lord.

'No Compromise With Tradition.'
Mark 7:13.
a) Making the Word of God of no effect,
b) Through your tradition
c) Which you have handed down,
d) And many such things you do.
(This Second one teaches me to have No Compromise With Tradition)
PRAYER: That we will have No Compromise With Tradition in our personal or family Spiritual Life.

Chris.
Now we have been set free from sin. As True Believers, now we have a desire to live as slaves of God. It is as a result of this setting free, and from the desire in our heart, that we can live as slaves of God. In the World system, being a slave is a choice that very few people would make. In the Kingdom of God, however, to be a slave of God is indeed a High Privilege.
