The results of the Old Covenant ministry was bondage, but the result of the New Covenant ministry is freedom in The Spirit Legalism keeps a person immature and immature people must live by rules and regulations.
God wants His children, to obey not because of an external code {The Law], but because of internal character. Christians do not live under the law, but this not mean we are lawless.
When we accept the victory of the cross , the Spirit of The Lord writes the Word Of God on our hearts, and we we love to obey Our Lord and Our Friend because of the new law He has given within us.
Galatians 4 Verse 1 to 7: V1: "Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had."
V2: "They obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set."
V3: "And that's the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children, we were slaves to the basic [principles of the world."
V4: "But when the right time came. God sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law."
V5: " God sent Him to buy freedom for us who were salves to the law, so He could adopt us as His very own children."
V6: "God has sent The Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out 'Abba Father'."
V7: "Now you are no longer a slave but God's own child. And since you are His child. God has made you heir."
The New Covenant is written on the hearts of all Who believe in Jesus as The Christ and The Victory He won on the cross. The Holy Spirit now reside within us to help us live in this New Covenant.
God Promises are true. He has told us He will never leave us or forsake us, because His Spirit now lives in side us. Reflect on this and let His Spirit lead us in this New Covenant Truth.
God Bless
