 You were exercising trust and faith in the cross of Christ. When you did that, the Holy Spirit came into you. You're no longer under the law, my friend. You're under grace and you're empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. So if we're going to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding and all our ways acknowledge him and he will direct our paths, we got to walk in what started at the moment of our salvation.
