*SPIRIT OF LIFE*
*ROMANS 8:1-5*
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

*KEY VERSE*
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death” v.2
*MESSAGE*
We should clearly distinguish between the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and the law of sin and death.

God is truly not interested in the death of a sinner but the life of a sinner is not profitable to Him because it will eventually end up in death if there is no change. The goal is to come to repentance.

What necessitated the review to the law of sin and death is that it became a tool to destroy rather than a rod of correction.
When Jesus asked that no one should stone the adulterous woman, He wasn’t in support of adultery. There was no profit to God in seeing the woman die,

so an opportunity to change from her sinful ways is the most desired option. Christ corrected the woman instead of condemning her and this gives a clear analysis of how He has come to fulfill the law.

Do not continue in filthy acts and use this portion of the scripture as an excuse. Your immunity against condemnation is only effective when you walk in the spirit of life.

To be carnally minded is enmity against God and the result is death. A life that rejects godly corrections cannot be said to be keeping the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

*Prayer Point:* Holy Father, expunge every carnal thoughts from my heart and let me be properly guided in the law of the Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
*Food For Thought:* “For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die.

But if you through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.” Romans 8:13.
