Romans 7-8

God’s laws in the Old Testament are perfect, however they were never intended to save anyone from sin.  They only proved the impossibility of obeying God’s laws because every person is born with an inherent tendency to do the wrong thing, and were designed to show us the need for a solution of rescue from God, Who came in the form of man to do that very thing.  Even we prove the impossibility of perfectly obeying God’s law when we try to do so in our own strength, however Jesus has sent His Spirit to us, so that we might be successful in living for God as He leads us.

God does not condemn anyone who is in Jesus Christ, but quickly forgives us when we ask, and His Spirit leads us moment by moment, and gradually forms our character into the image of Jesus, Who is the perfect model for us to follow.  When we follow the leading of God’s Spirit, we prove that we have become His children, and He will take control of the circumstances in our lives, working all things for our good, and for His glory.  Nothing in this world, or from the devil can separate us from the love of God, and His care for us as His adopted children.
