The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.”

Lord God my Father,

I ask you to lead me away from my sinful nature and into your will. Produce in me your fruit and free me from all desire that is not from you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
