Romans 8:1-4 The Sanctifying Role Of The Holy Spirit

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.  For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,  so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Did you hear the good news:  There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.  Your sins are forgiven and remembered no more.   We have been enabled by the life-giving  Spirit to have our inner man walk free of those sins of the flesh.  This impartation of new life sets us free if we believe in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection from the dead.  Our old ways are not the real me, but the forgiven spirit is what is set free.

Daily Prayer:  Seek the Spirit of life and you will find Him.  When you do, you will be transformed in to righteousness by the  righteousness of Jesus.  Amen.
