Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. ...The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

I no longer live a life filled with fear inculcated by the Ten Commandments but as a son of the living God, seeking to understand and shape my life today by the ethos of the family. Yes, there are times when I stumble and stub my toe, but my Father extends grace in response to my repentance to restore my communion with Him. Not carte blanche to pound my little brother whenever, but a path back to the righteousness, peace, and joy that is family life.
