Romans 8:2; KJV
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Galatians 5:16-18; TPT
[16] Let me emphasize this: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life. [17] When your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit you hinder him from living free within you! And the Holy Spirit’s intense cravings hinder your self-life from dominating you! So then, the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you are your self-life of the flesh and the new creation life of the Spirit. [18] But when you yield to the life of the Spirit, you will no longer be living under the law, but soaring above it!
2 Corinthians 3:6, KJV
who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Romans 8:2 declares, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.” The Spirit of life is the indwelling presence of Christ, enabling us to live a victorious and overcoming life. This Spirit, as we teach, is not only life-giving but also life-transforming, leading us into full conformity to Christ.
Galatians 5:16-18 calls us to walk by the Spirit, which is to live moment by moment in dependence on the Lord. This walk brings freedom from the works of the flesh and aligns us with God’s purpose. The Spirit of life operates within us as the new law, spontaneously supplying life and power to overcome sin and death.
To live by the Spirit of life is to enjoy Christ as our life daily. This involves prayer, meditating on His Word, and yielding to His leading in all things.
