Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

You may recall a comedian years ago coining the phrase, “The devil made me do it.”  People laughed and had fun and still do using that phrase.  In reality, there is nothing funny about the devil making someone do bad things.  It is true that Satan and his army of evil workers do cause havoc throughout this world and multitudes have obeyed their commands.

However, for the child of God, the devil can’t make us do anything.  Yes, he can tempt us, and there are times we regrettably have yielded to those temptations. According to the Bible for those that have the Spirit of life in Christ, that is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we are freed from the law of sin and death.

Romans 6:6-7 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

The indwelling Holy Spirit empowers the believer to be free from sin and the penalty of eternal death.

Praise God we are free from the penalty of sin, the power of sin, and one day soon, we will be free from the very presence of sin.

Reflection—The unchangeable law within the universe is the Law of the Spirit of Life. All that life is in Jesus Christ and nowhere else.
