One of the trademarks of religious OCD (scrupulosity) is avoiding certain Scriptures. For me, one thing I avoided was much of the Old Testament. All those pre-resurrection laws sounded too much like the compulsions I felt I had to do to be saved.
But years later I find myself so in love with the Old Testament - specifically how it shows us the character of God and reminds us of the Lamb without Blemish who came to take away our sins once for ALL 🩷
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ”
Romans 8:1-4 ESV
