Romans 8:2
“For the Law of the SPIRIT of Life in CHRIST JESUS has made me free from the spirit of sin and death.”
This verse from Romans 8:2 means that through the HOLY SPIRIT, you and I are now free from the power of sin and its consequence of death. JESUS CHRIST’s sacrifice breaks sin's dominion and offers a new, spiritual life led by the HOLY SPIRIT, and not our old sinful nature. We’re thankful to GOD for this freedom, and we ask for help to live by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT, and declare our identity as a totality freed person in and through faith in CHRIST JESUS!
Therefore, You and I are no longer under the penalty of sin and death that held us captive. Instead, a new "law" of the SPIRIT of Life in CHRIST JESUS is now at work in us, giving you and me the power to live differently. This isn't about our own effort, but the life and power of the HOLY SPIRIT who lives within you and me. Because of JESUS’ sacrifice, the condemnation of sin is gone. The old master of sin and death no longer controls your destiny and mine. We’ve been made free to live a life oriented toward GOD, empowered to please Him and live according to His Life-giving SPIRIT, not our fallen flesh.
Prayer
Amazing Heavenly FATHER, thank You for sending Your Son, JESUS CHRIST. Romans 8:2 says the law of the SPIRIT of life in CHRIST JESUS has set me free from the law of sin and death, and I claim that freedom today. I thank You that there is no condemnation for me in CHRIST. By the power of Your SPIRIT, help me to live according to the new law of Life you have given me. Break the power of sinful habits in my life, and help me to focus my mind on the things of the SPIRIT, which are life and peace. In JESUS’ powerful Name, Amen.
