—Romans 6:15-23
by: Angie Osborn.
When we accept Christ’s redemption and lordship, we accept a free gift. Keeping laws and commandments does not earn that gift; keeping them is a response to the gift. As children of God, we want to please him. Obedience to his laws is a response to his authority and love in our lives. It is something that we do, not out of obligation, but out of joy and desire. We are called to be slaves to righteousness, but we do so willingly. We are not held captive but serve in freedom and by choice, thankful to our Lord for his mercy and love!
