Word for the Week

Gracious living for Christian lawyers

Week beginning: 15th September, 2019 | By Janys Scott | Scottish Borders

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 6:12-14 (ESV)

It's Monday morning. Another week of legal challenge, with all that can go right and all that can go wrong. And another week of challenge in living the Christian life.

Paul reminds us:

Remember who you are. You have been brought from death to life.
