No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17)
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. (Romans 6:18)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Freed from sin to serve justice

Paul calls us to live a life of holiness and presents the idea that under the Old Testament law, salvation was through works, which was impossible to achieve. However, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, God leads us to that life of holiness, which is pleasing to Him. We are now under the new regime of the Spirit and should present our physical and mental organs to the Lord for sanctification. As children of God, we no longer serve sin but serve righteousness. The fruit of our service is sanctification and the end result is eternal life. We can choose to serve either the flesh or God, with the former resulting in eternal death and damnation, and the latter resulting in eternal life. We should always choose the life of holiness and intimacy with God. Read more...
