Another aspect of the freedom that Christ brings is that believers are no longer ruled by sin's domination.
Bible
"But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." Romans 6: 17,18
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you that you've freed me and given me this new desire to serve and love you. Help me, not only to have this desire but to live it out in my thoughts, words and deeds. Amen

• A believer in Jesus has had his or her heart changed by being made alive to God.
• That means that our deepest desire now is not to gratify ourselves but to serve and love God.
• "Our attempts at obedience are now joyful and integrated in a way that was never true before." (J. I. Packer, Concise Theology)
• This new way of living comes from the Spirit who energizes believers to live for God and not against a written law or code (Rom 7:6).
Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you that you've freed me and given me this new desire to serve and love you. Help me, not only to have this desire but to live it out in my thoughts, words and deeds. Amen
