The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:2
The law of sin and death is the law of sowing and reaping. It's the law of sin AND death. If you sin, you will die eventually (John 8:24). You reap what you sow. This is why it is said that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Your self-effort always produces death. This is the law of the earth. Death came through sin (Romans 5:12). Anyone without Christ is under the law of sin and death.
In Christ, we have the law of the Spirit of life. Notice, it is not the law of the Spirit AND life. If it was so, it would still be a law of sowing and reaping. Sow Spirit and reap life.
But it is the law of the Spirit OF life. In other words, having the Spirit is the same as having life. It is a gift to be received. It is said that the gift of God is eternal life (Romans 6:23). You can't work for it. It is received by grace through faith - by simply trusting in Jesus.
When we put our trust in Jesus, we are under the law of the Spirit of life. This law sets us free from the law of sin and death. This new law makes us free from the effects of sowing and reaping. In other words, if sickness and disease are under sowing and reaping, we are free from it. Someone's germs and viruses cannot be passed to us (see John G Lake's testimony about the African deadly plague in the link).
If you are sick, the law of the Spirit of life will make you free from it so that you can walk in health.
If financial poverty is under sowing and reaping, we are free from it. If the world's economy is under sowing and reaping, we are free from it.
If the dangerous effects of certain food are under sowing and reaping, we are free from it.
If plane crash and car accidents are under sowing and reaping, we are free from it.
If disasters are under the law of sin and death, we are free from it.
If retrenchment is under the law of sin and death, we are free from it.
The list goes on. We are now UNDER the LAW of the SPIRIT of LIFE in Christ Jesus. Start believing and trusting.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. #truth
