The
life in Jesus is wonderful thing (but not easy though). Paul says, “And because
you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit had freed you from the
power of sin that leads to death” (Romans 8:2NLT). This is what happens; an
illustration: Went I am in an AirAsia’s airplane; I am free from the law of
gravity. The plane operates in such a way that it is able to lift itself above
the clouds, although the law of gravity a few minutes before held me fast to
the earth. The law of gravity is not destroyed, it is still very much operating
but no more have any effect on the plane. This is what happens in our life if
we are in Jesus. The law that operates by the Spirit in our life lifts us above
the world and sin, and sin no longer has dominion over us. We are free! We are
without condemnation.
Let
me turn my word from plural to singular, ‘if we’ to ‘you’ – Are you living in
Jesus? Are you living on a plane far above the evil powers and influences?
In
Romans 8, the word ‘Spirit’ (the Spirit of the Son, Jesus) used over and over
again more than 20 times*. We must yield our lives to Him. This is our part.
Then He will fill us with His Spirit. That is Jesus’ part.
Christians
are safe: Christ is around them;
the Spirit is within them;
and God is for them.
THINK BIG.
START SMALL.
GO DEEP.
the Spirit is within them;

GO DEEP.
