Unbounded

"Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord," Romans 7:25.

Why? because he delivered each of us from the deadly war raging within. Deadly? yes, a law had usurped our bodies to bend our minds to do its death-wish. What law? a death-wish fleshly law. Bend our minds? yes, in our inner selves we agreed that God's law was very good and we wanted to do good. But this other law, sin's death-wish fleshly law, took over our bodies and drove us against God's ways. So we were at war within our own selves! The battle ground? Our own bodies and minds. Desperate minds bending impotently to bodily wants instead of bodies yielding to mindful, spiritual desires. Graveyards filled with the remains. But God did what what his good law couldn't do for us. He gave us Jesus to battle, and die, and return to victorious life, for us. Sky kingdom.

When we meet with a brother or sister today we share in the unbounded liberty Christ provides us. And, together, we give eternal thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
