Romans 7:21ff Kinsman Redeemer

The need we have to be rescued is unquestioned. The ability to see the need and to move in all the ways that God moved in order to redeem us was always His, but we'd have missed it unless He'd written it into the story. Now we know how to see and to know what has been done for us. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
