To live according to the laws of the Old Testament

To live by the Old Testament law,
we must strictly observe and practice everything written in the Book of the Law.
If we perfectly observe and practice the Law, we can live by the Law.
...However, by the Law no one is justified before God.
...For the standard required by the Law is not merely doing, but observing and practicing it with heart.
...However, we have been shown the way to live by the Spirit (Holy Spirit).
To live by the Spirit means to live guided by the Holy Spirit.
...Those guided by the Holy Spirit are humble.
Humility eliminates pride, envy, and vanity.
However, if we reject the Holy Spirit,
we become proud.
Humility is a sign of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit loves to use those who are humble for God's purposes!
Let us walk guided by the Spirit today as well.

Shalom.
