Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Now the Lord saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice. And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no one to intercede; then His own arm brought salvation to Him, and His righteousness upheld Him. He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.

How does God use His Law in the life of an unsaved man? Paul tells us how God used the Law in his own life to show him his sin and kill his self-righteousness.

Believers have gone from being married to Mr. Law, to Mr. Love - Jesus Christ. We have been released from the law, having died to it by being united to Christ. Now we serve with a new desire, a new power, and a new love. "Not in oldness of the letter, but in newness of the Spirit!"

All of us were born as slaves to sin. But when we were born again, God freed us from sin and transferred us into His kingdom. We are now His slaves, but experience joy, peace, and happiness as His willing servants.

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"

How can a believer make progress in holiness? In Romans 6 the apostle Paul gives us clear teaching on the matter. We must know of our union to Christ, consider that union, and then go on to present the members of our body to God as instruments of righteousness.
