Some principles and laws that belong to the physical realm also apply to the spiritual realm, and vice versa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Dear God, regarding the question of the Apostle Paul: &#8220;Are you ignorant, brothers, that the Law lords it over the man for as long a time as he lives,&#8221; I understand that while living with a sinful nature in the fleshly body, humanity is under the rule of God&#8217;s law. They are subject to the law&#8217;s punishment for violating God&#8217;s commandments and are accountable for their sinful nature.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">I understand that those who truly repent of their sins, believe in the atoning death of Jesus Christ, have their sinful nature die with Christ on the cross. Therefore, the law no longer has any hold over them, and sin no longer has power over them. On the contrary, they are free to live a new and holy life with a new nature created for them in Christ.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Dear God, through Your grace and love, I have been forgiven, cleansed of my sinful nature, and made new in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this, I have been freed from the punishment of the law and can live a new life under grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. I know that by accepting Christ, I am acknowledging Him as my Father and Husband. The Bible says that He is the Everlasting Father and He is the Bridegroom, and the people of God in the Church are the Bride. The Church will be united with Christ in the marriage of the Lamb, which speaks of the love that Christ has for the Church.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Dear God, through today&#8217;s meditation on the Scriptures, I am reminded that, as children of God, we must be grateful for the gift of marriage that You have bestowed upon us, in which husband and wife are united as one in the Lord. Married couples must remain faithful to each other and love one another with all their hearts. I also understand that, even if I do not commit physical adultery, if I break any of the Ten Commandments, I have committed spiritual adultery. When I break any of the Ten Commandments, I am worshiping and serving my own desires, turning myself into an idol. I must live a holy life, love Your Word, obey the commandments, and uphold the law. This is how I can live faithfully with Christ and express my loyalty to Him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Dear God, please grant me greater understanding each day of Your Eternal Living Word. Please keep me from breaking Your commandments, even unintentionally. I am thankful to You.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">In the grace of Jesus Christ, my Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Priscilla Christian Huynh<br \/>\n03\/21\/2023<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube: https:\/\/youtu.be\/1npklNvdGKk Download Audio: https:\/\/od.lk\/f\/MV8yOTUwOTUzNDZf Download Video: https:\/\/od.lk\/f\/MV8yOTUwOTU0MTRf Download PDF: https:\/\/od.lk\/f\/MV8yOTUwOTUzNjVf Priscilla: Romans 7:1-6 God&#8217;s People Released from the Law 1 Or are you ignorant, brothers, (for I speak to <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/priscilla-romans-71-6\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-priscilla-christian-huynh"],"views":5135,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":392,"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386\/revisions\/392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewordtoyou.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
