Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24
What a statement! And we thought the Old Covenant, the Law,was hard! The New Covenant only has two requirements: love perfectly and die to self. That's much more impossible. As my wife is fond of saying, it's a condition of the heart, and our hearts are sick. We can't do it, not consistently, not long. To try is to set ourselves up for failure. And yet that is exactly what we have been called to do. Thank God His grace gives us the power and ability to do the impossible. Today let us rely on the grace and strength of the Spirit to walk in His will.
