In fact, it is quite possible to bring the oldness of the letter into the Christian life, so that even the Christian life becomes full of rules, regulations and requirements: “You have to read and pray. You have to tell others about Jesus. You have to attend church services, etc.” The newness of the Spirit, fulfills all these expectations, but it happens through the power of the inner life, and not through outward requirements.
Kwa kweli,inawazekana kuleta maandiko ya kale katika maisha ya Kikristo, ili kwa kwamba hata maisha ya Kikristo ina kuwa na sheria, maagizo na masharti nyingi: “Unahitaji kusoma na kuomba.Lazima uwambia wengine kuhusu Yesu. Lazima uingie katika ibaada za kanisa, n.k.” Upya wa Roho hutimiliza haya matarajio, lakini hutendeka katika uweza wa maisha ya ndani na sio masharti ya inje.
