If you belong to Christ Jesus, God’s Spirit has given you a new life. The Holy Spirit gives us the compulsion to act right because He frees us from the impulse to practice the culture and custom of sin.

Know this, God’s Spirit now rules in your life and he has made you free. Sin and death no longer have authority over you. Reject the practice of sin since we possess the impulse to right action through the Holy Spirit who is in us.
