Theme for the Week: THE LAW AND GRACE
Reading: Romans 8:1-2
_______________________
Romans 8:2 (KJV)
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
There are two major laws in the lives of man; the law of the Spirit of life, and the law of sin and death.
While the law of the Spirit of life in Christ gives life to work the law, the law of sin and death promise righteousness after working the law.
It is obvious that no one can work the law and attain righteousness, because a fall in one is a fall in all.
However, in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, we are justified even in our sinful nature to be righteous and equipped with power to live holy lives.
This means that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ came to fulfill the law of sin and death. And so, we are no longer under the law of sin and death, but under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ which makes us right with God without our efforts.
Selah.
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we bless You. Lord, may You draw all men into the law of the Spirit of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
