THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT

            

“For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:2

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The law of the Spirit of life suspends the law of sin and death


When the law of the spirit of life is activated in your life via believe in Christ Jesus, it suspends every other law that sin had activated in your life before. It gives you opportunity to access a new life full of joy, peace and rest in Christ. When a man believes and receives Christ into his life, he becomes a new man. The scripture says that he becomes translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:12). Sin brought death to the world and the penalty of sin was death (Romans 6:23). Man therefore became a captive of sin and death. He could not help himself. No captive can bail himself out of prison. It takes only a free man to pay the ransom to free the captive. So man needed help. He needed someone to pay the price for him. Jesus had to pay the price to redeem man from the captivity of sin and death. Since God is a God of justice, He had to send His Son to meet the demands of the law. The demand of the law stipulated that every soul that sinneth must die (Ezekiel 18:4). Jesus had to surrender himself to bear the sins of the world, die a gruesome death on the cross and pay the price for man’s sin. By this means, anybody who comes into Christ is not permitted to die eternally.


If you are in Christ Jesus, you are no longer subject to death. Looking at Revelation 6:8 you will understand that death was empowered to destroy men via hunger, wars, sicknesses etc. As a new man in Christ, all these predicaments are not permitted to be effective in your life. This is because what defines your life as a new man in Christ is not in what you can do but in what God has done for you in Christ. You have nothing to contribute for your freedom; everything has been freely given to you. God does not place any demands on you. Satan is afraid of you knowing who you are in Christ because he uses the fear of death to hold men captive. The day you come into the knowledge of who you are in Christ, Satan becomes afraid of you. As a new man in Christ, you can nullify the works of the devil. You were not born again of a corruptible seed but of the incorruptible word of God which defiles all negative laws made by Satan via the introduction of sin.

INSTRUCTION: Study the word to know the law you are operating in.

PRAYER:  Every power and law of death over my life is broken, in Jesus name!

QUOTE: Knowledge is what keeps you intact in the law of the spirit of life.
