Raised From Death To Bear Fruit

"Likewise my brethren, you have undergone death

as to the Law, through the crucified body of Christ,

so that now you may belong to Another,

to Him Who was raised from the dead 

in order that we may bear fruit for God.

Daffodils Blooming In The Snow

When we were living in the flesh, the

sinful passions that were awakened and aroused

by what the Law makes sin, were constantly

operating in our natural powers,

in our bodily organs, in the sensitive appetites,

and wills of the flesh

so that we bore fruit for death.

But now we are discharged from the Law

and have terminated all intercourse with it,

having died to what once restrained and held us captive.

So now we serve not under obedience to 

the old code of regulations, but under obedience

to the promptness of the Spirit in the newness of life.

Romans 7:4-6
