Jesus’ death on the cross broke the chains that bound us to satan’s slave block of sin. Romans 6:1-2 says, “…Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?”

Slaves obey without question. We are slaves to sin or to obedience. The path of obedience is strewn with grace. We obey in our heart, but the Holy Spirit empowers us through grace to fulfill what the Lord requires of us.

Meditating on the truths from God’s word, weaves those truths into the fabric of our hearts. Memorizing takes concentration. It is a dedicated time set aside to lay up the treasure of His word in our heart. Let me challenge you with Psalm 119:4 which says, “You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.” A command is a call to obedience.
