There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2 KJV
It does not matter what has gone before, as long as the issue of ownership and allegiance has been settled. As long as I cannot define my identity or clarify my location, I cannot claim the benefits of today's extract.
My location determines my allocation. Today's extract talks about being IN CHRIST, not around or about him. You have got to be in him. Men know so much about him, yet reject his dealings and teachings. We long for the miracle, yet reject the power behind the miracle. It does not work. The devil is smart; he gives us options and distractions, while the important and the eternal is ignored. Man can be celebrated by other men, yet be bound by the devil. It is all about who you know, not what you know.
There is always a law at work at all times in my life. My choices per time will determine the law at work in my life. Each law has eternal consequences and none of them has permanent death as its end. You will continue to live somewhere when this present mortal phase is over, either in eternal life or eternal damnation. Before the owner of life comes calling, you had better be sure that his own law is at work in your life. Be sure of your citizenship status, so that you can from now, know where you are going.
I am free, because I know the owner of life. Do you? His time of favour is here.
