“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2 (NIV)
What is the law of sin and death? It is the law that says sin's wages are paid with death. Our promise today is that Christ Jesus offers us a different law – the law of the Spirit of God and it gives life to those who choose to believe. It sets us free from the old consequence of death for sin. This is done through Christ Jesus, His sinless life, His death on the cross, and His resurrection to a new life. He offers that new life to all and all who take Him up on that offer are set free from any law that requires death for sin. So we rejoice in this promise that there is no condemnation that can be brought on those who are in Christ Jesus. Protected by the promise of God, set free by the Holy Spirit and given eternal life in Jesus Christ, we are free from fear of death and death itself.
