LAWLESSNESS-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.

Everyone is operating under one law or the other. Ignorance of the law is no excuse anywhere, so be informed.

Essentially, man is a spirit-being, and we know that the spiritual rules the physical. So, basically, everyone is operating under either of these two spiritial laws:

1.) The law of the Spirit of life.

2.) The law of sin and death. 

This is well stipulated in 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._ 

Everyone who is not born again is operating under the law of sin and death. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. 

The "all" in this verse means every human being. When Adam, our first Parent fell, all of humanity fell.

The power of sin was enacted in man the moment Adam disobeyed. By reason of this disobedience, death started reigning over man.

Romans 6:23 says *For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sin will always lead to death, but glory to God that this verse didn't just tell us what sin can do,  but it showed us the way of escape. 

The gift of God is enormous. He knows man can't afford it, so He made it a gift, the gift of eternal life. Now, you can only access this gift through Jesus Christ. 

The moment you are born again, you transitioned from the law of sin and death to the law of life which only Jesus gives. Romans 8:2.

Now, a Christian will be doing himself a huge disservice if after coming to Christ, you are still living by the law of sin and death. 

Along with the law of the Spirit of life, comes the grace to live above sin. Open your heart to receive the grace to live an overcoming life.

Bible  Reading: Romans 8:1-39.
