“For the law of the
spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death”
Romans 8:2-4
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The law of sin and death is suspended at the emergence of a new man in Christ.
The Law of the spirit of life has made us free 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 which 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.
Those who are in Christ Jesus are no longer subject to death. It is instructive to note that death was empowered to kill with hunger, with the sword and spiritual death (Revelation 6:8). As a new man in Christ, these three predicaments are not permitted to be effective in your life. This is because what defines the life of a new man in Christ is not in what he can do but in who he is in Christ. What defines the life of a new man in Christ is in everything God has done. God does not place any demands on us. Satan is afraid of you knowing who you are in Christ because he uses the fear of death to hold man 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. Being born again is not a call to punishment but a call to exercise power and authority.
INSTRUCTION: Stay in Christ and death will stay away from you.
PRAYER: Every power
and law of death over my life is broken, in Jesus name!
QUOTE:A new man in Christ has no appointment with death.
