The Bible teaches us that through the finished work of the cross, Jesus paid the price for every believer to live free from the curse and bondage of sin. Even the very effects and repercussions of sin have no power over us when we have decided to embrace the life of the Spirit, in Christ Jesus. Living the life of the Spirit, is a daily decision to embrace God's thoughts and perspective above our own. It means to speak in line with His will and act as He leads and prompts us. The glorious truth about this kind of living, is that it always results in our best interest and never fails to produces life and peace. What's more, living according to the dictates of the Spirit of God is not something we do in our own strength! The Spirit of God is constantly at work in us, and our choosing to cooperate with Him brings such a joyful freedom into our lives. We begin each day with our hearts and minds set on Him and His promises, enriched and energised by His power. Then, everything we face throughout the day, we face in the safety of His presence, surrounded by His goodness and mercy. He is never taken by surprise, nor is He ever without a plan for us to overcome. In Him, we always have a sure hope and expectation to succeed in life. So choose to embrace His presence, and enjoy the freedom you have in Him today.
