THE 15th OF JULY

JESUS SET US FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. – Romans 8:1-2

Jesus Christ set us free from the law of sin and death; in Him there is no guilty verdict and no punishment for all of us who are truly His. Since Jesus became our personal Lord and Savior, we do not live led by our carnal nature, following its desires, but we follow the instructions of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus’ sacrifice canceled the condemnation that sin brings. As long as we belong to God, we are free from guilt and the death penalty for sin, because Jesus washed away our sins with His blood.

The “law of the Spirit of life” which began to operate in us as believers, by union with Christ, has set us free from the death punishment brought by the “law of sin and death.” We are not saved by our own efforts, but by God’s grace, that we have received through faith. The life we have received since Jesus became our Lord, is everlasting, as only Jesus is “the way, the truth and the life”.

SUGGESTED PRAYER

Thank You Lord Jesus, for setting me free from the law of sin and death and for canceling the punishment for my sins. Praises and glory to Your Holy Name for all You have done for me, for Your love and grace and for the perfect way You have prepared for me. I am so happy and blessed to be Yours. Please help me to always follow You, by heeding the direction of Your Spirit and not the desires of my carnal nature. Thank You Jesus, for You are the only way to the Father, the everlasting truth and life. Praise and glory in Your Name. Amen
