You are right, Ed! In effect, the person that lives in GOD’s command i.e. love the Triune GOD and ones neighbor by principle and not see it as mere rules to follow. It reminds me again of your article!
We can live His command by principle when GOD writes it in our heart and puts His Spirit in us. It alludes to 1) GOD the FATHER’s saving grace, 2) JESUS CHRIST’s sacrifice for the atonement of our sins once and for all, and 3) the coming of the HOLY SPIRIT. We feel guilty when we sinned because the HOLY SPIRIT convicts us of our sins. We do our best not to sin because of His guidance.
I agree with you, Jim! We are truly grateful to the Triune GOD that works in us, drawing us closer to Him in faith. Without GOD’s action, there is no chance we can be redeemed.
True, Todd, it is a reassuring verse! Thanking the Triune GOD for rescuing us through His saving grace, redemption, and guidance in our lives. GOD bless you and your family!
Yes, in order to follow God’s standards it needs a new heart, one that is committed to embodying God’s laws rather than following mechanical rules
