The Law of the Spirit of Life - Thursday
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life which is in Christ Jesus the law of our new being has freed me from the law of sin and of death.
The Means for No Condemnation (Romans 8:2–4)
The way to being free from condemnation is stated here. It involves both the Spirit of God and the Son of God.
The Work of the Spirit of God. “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2). The Holy Spirit is much involved in our salvation. However, the Spirit’s involvement is not apart from Christ Jesus. It is the law of the Spirit of life “in Christ Jesus.”
The Work of the Son of God. “God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us” (Romans 8:3,4). Jesus Christ is the Savior. First, the sending. “God sending his own son.” God sent Christ to the earth to die for sinners. Second, the seeing. “In the likeness of sinful flesh.” This is the Incarnation. Man could see the Savior incarnated in the likeness of sinful flesh—not in sinful flesh but in the likeness of sinful flesh. Third, the sacrificing. “For sin” involves the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary. Christ did not die a martyr but died for our sins. Fourth, the sanctifying. “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us.” The death of Christ made it possible for sinful man to have the righteousness of Christ imputed to him.
