Romans 8:15
Walk in the Spirit
By Hlayisani · August 9, 2026
And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father "
Paul described two kinds of laws. One was the law of sin. He was talking about how sin controls people. When people sin they are guilty of disobeying God. They are judged for this. The judgement is that all human beings die. The other kind of law Paul described was the law of the Holy Spirit. He was talking about how people who belong to Christ are free from the power of sin. The Son of God came to earth as a human being. Because of this he could become a sin offering. Jesusʼ sacrifice paid the price for sin. This means that Jesus broke sinʼs power over human beings. Believers are no longer judged as guilty for choosing not to obey God. The Holy Spirit helps them to think and live in ways that please God. They will have life even after their bodies die because Godʼs Spirit is in them. Those who live under the Spiritʼs power are part of Godʼs family. They have been adopted as Godʼs children. They trust God as their Father and call him Abba. The Holy Spirit gives them power to live for God. He gives them power to keep going when they are treated badly for following Jesus. One day Jesus will share his glory with all believers.
