How is your walk ?
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:2
The word "law" in our verses for today does not refer to any set of commandments in general or to the Mosaic Law specifically. It is best translated as "power." Given this, there are two powers at work in the world. There is the power of sin and death, and there is the power of the Spirit of life.
The power of sin and death, on the one hand, is the power of our own sinful spiritual state ? Which is under the influence of the devil, which leads to separation from God and all His goodness and blessings, and finally leads to death.
But the law of the Spirit, that is the Power of the Spirit, gives us life and sets us free from the influence of evil. Every time we choose to listen and walk in the Spirit with love, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness and self-control we are free from the influence of the kingdom of darkness, and thus we get closer to God and inherit all His blessings and goodness for our lives. We have an abundant life filled with Joy and Peace when we walk in the Spirit.
On the contrary, when you walk under the influence of sin and death, when you walk in jealousy, walk in bitterness, walk in your own flesh with worldly desire, always thinking about the world, then you become the slave to the world and controlled by the world which always leads to destruction.
How is your walk today? When you believe in Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as personal savior, you are set free from the influence and power of sin and death, and given the Spirit of Christ to walk under the power and influence of the Spirit of Christ. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh but the desires of the Almighty God which brings tremendous blessing.
