I love this Michael, and I often reflect on just what sort of difference this makes to my behaviour and my call to bear the fruit of righteousness. No sense being triumphalistic, but the astonishing implication is that I am new creation in Christ, and he empowers his new behaviour in and through me nay his Spirit. I have resources beyond my (old) self, with his people, to be salt and light. Incredible!

Hi David, so glad my reflections are encouraging to you!

This is so on point. Thank you for an extremely helpful reflection on a text that captures the essence of Paul’s theology.
I wrote in my journal that your short essay is worthy of repeated meditation.
Thank you.

Just what I needed to read this morning.
I would give this ten "likes" if I could.
