8. “The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to com out of the world…” - John 15:19

9. “But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ. Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed. Let me put it another way.

10. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.” - Galatians 3:22-27

Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” - Romans 12:1-2
