But thanks be to God, that while you who were once slaves to sin have become obedient to the heart of the standard of teaching to which you were committed
Romans 6 : 17
You who were once slaves to sin... Slaves to sin. We had no choice but to obey our sinful natures. But now we have become obedient to the heart of the standard of teaching from God's Word. Isn't that amazing! He has left us instructions on what we expects of us so that we can live the lives He wants for us. We must be obedient to what's on His heart, what's revealed in His Word. To be after His own heart, we should be obedient, not because we are slaves, but because He has made us FREE!
Heavenly Father, help me to be obedient to all that you have laid on my heart through your Word. Help me as I read it daily to respond to it, not just as words on a page, but as direction for my life.
