Romans 8:1-2
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those what in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."
Ok, so the Spirit doesn't really walk, but every believer is one who now walks according to the Spirit which abides within us. The touch of the Spirit unto salvation gives the believer a new purpose for living, that unto giving glory to Jesus Christ.
Previously, our walk was of this world and defined by sin and death. While we were alive physically, we were also dead spiritually, condemned in our sins. But in Christ, we were made alive by the Spirit, and though we may die physically, we are given eternal life in Christ.
Essentially, we've been set free. We're no longer one living in death row as a "dead man walking", awaiting a sure and certain death. We've got a new lease on life. Prison doors are opened and we've got a new start in Christ.
So how do you get this new start? You turn to Christ in faith, confessing your sins and seeking God's forgiveness. Our Lord has promised the Spirit's touch to everyone who comes to him in belief, so how about you?
LORD JESUS
Lord, I thank you for give me a new walk in the Spirit, setting me free from the law of sin and death. Thank you for this act of grace. Amen.
