Blessings of God’s Legal Requirement Being Satisfied
…when I tried to keep the law,
it condemned me.
So I died to the law—
I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—
so that I might live for God.
My old self has been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me.
So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.
