    God, through Christ, honoring our faith, has given us an undeserved title—“Righteous one.” Now, how shall we live in this new clothing, in this new, changed life? In chapters twelve through fourteen of the book of Romans Paul talks about living in these n

    A New Suit Romans 13:8-14 Introduction In the early 1970s there was a best-selling book by B. F. Skinner entitled Beyond Freedom and Dignity.
