"Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ" - DAY #3: Firm Foundation October 21-Day Devotional
Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
There are two powerful forces at work in this world and in your life. The first force or "bad law" is what the Apostle Paul called the "law of sin and death."
Like gravity, the law of sin and death, introduced into the earth by Adam, affects everyone. This is a law, or principle, that no one can escape or overcome in one's own strength. Even "nice" people have sinned and experienced a spiritual death.
The second powerful force or "good law" at work in the earth is what the Apostle Paul called "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ." This force, power, or principle is something that God had to introduce into the earth through Jesus Christ to counteract the law of sin and death.
As the wording suggests, this law is all about life. It's all about Jesus Christ. It's all about freedom and health for your spirit, soul and body. This "Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" helps you overcome negative and harmful factors in life.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS: How would you explain "law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" to another person? How does Jesus make this law or principle effective?
