Rom 7:6 | MHM | STEP | This frees us to "serve in newness of Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter" (Romans 7:6 ). We no longer have to rely on our own efforts to keep the law, but can serve God from a renewed heart, empowered by the Holy Spirit. This is a much better way to live than being bound to the letter of the law, which only brings condemnation.
