THE LAW 2

 *Text :* Romans 8:2.


 *For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.* 


Today, we shall be looking at the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. 


Our text opens with the word 'for', meaning because.  This shows that this verse is explaining the preceeding verse,

Verse one -  ```There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.``` 


Two things are involved in this verse:

1. *No condemnation.*  Everyone likes to claim this promise, but this is not a free for all covenant. The only people that will not be condemned are those who are in Christ Jesus and who have fulfilled the second clause in the verse.


 *You are not a Christian because you go to church,  you are a Christian because you are in Christ Jesus.* 


2. *Not after the flesh :* Once you are a Christian,  (someone in Christ Jesus), you are expected to desist from walking after the dictates of the flesh and to start following the leadings of the Spirit. 


 *Your sonship in Christ Jesus is determined by the Spirit leading you.* 

Romans 8:14 says For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.


Now this is what gave rise to verse two. The reason you will not walk after the flesh is because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made you free from the law of sin and death.


 *To follow the law of the Spirit of life is to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in all things.* 


The Holy Spirit is not just our comforter, He is also our teacher.

 ```But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.``` John  14:26.


Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you. He is the Spirit of the Father, He will teach you all things that pertains to life and Godliness. 


It is only through the leadings of the Spirit that you can truly be free from the power of the law of sin and death.


 *BIBLE READING:* 


Romans 8:1-14.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father,  help me to continually yield to the leadings of the Holy Spirit.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
