“It may seem that freedom from a particular vice is unattainable, but never forget this—the voice telling you that you cannot change comes from the tempter. Faith means trusting not in our own righteousness or even our own capacity for it but trusting instead in the divine Son.”

“Faith is first and foremost trusting in the Lord’s gift of salvation.”

“This does not necessarily mean that every directive found in the Old Testament still has binding authority on those in the new covenant. Jesus, for example, insists that divorce and remarriage—a practice explicitly sanctioned in the law of Moses—must be set aside (cf. Mark 10:2-9; Matthew 19:3-12). Why was it permitted in the Old Testament? Jesus explains, “For your hardness of hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so” (cf. Matthew 19:8). In other words, the law permitted a practice that was not originally part of God’s plan because of Israel’s sinfulness.”
