The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus

Most times we talk about salvation and the saving grace of Jesus but do we really understand what His saving grace is really about besides the favor of making heaven and enjoying some earthy benefits?

Romans Chapter 8 opens up with a statement that we are no longer under any condemnation as long as we remain in Christ Jesus and the next verse goes on to explain how we no longer come under condemnation. We no longer come under God's wrath nor His condemnation by the working of the law of life in Christ Jesus ( Romans 8: 1- 3) 

What is this law anyway?  How do we operate in it? And how must we remain in it!

The Law of Life in Christ Jesus is this: "for by grace are we saved through faith..., not of works, lest any man should boast " (Ephesian 2: 8 - 9)

We break sin, curses, God's wrath and anger by the grace of Jesus. Jesus' grace is this; and simple: He died in our place and was the full payment of God's wrath. By this God's requirement for sin was fully paid for: you and I have been let go and free; free of charge on God's own account.
This law is also evident in Isaiah 53:3-5 - " By His stripes we are healed and through His stripes we have obtained peace."
The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus gives us the full right(s) to resist evil and overcome its power. That Law is at work in us and it is what keeps us sealed with Jesus.

We operate this law in faith and through the faith of Jesus. Consider this scripture:    "Gal 2:19  For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 

Gal 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

Gal 2:21  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." 

Please look closer at verse 20: " I live by the faith of the son of God." We operate in the new testament through the hope [faith] Jesus has towards us in that He believes we will stand with Him to the end. It by this hope that Jesus has in us that has wiped away our sins, gives us the authority to use His name, gives us legal rights and status as Abraham's children (Galatians 3: 13 -14 ); and finally made us joint heirs with Christ                         ( Romans 8:14 - 17 ) . It is the knowledge of "this" that makes us WALK in the newness of life that Jesus won for us through His blood. We must in essence come to understand these scriptures, meditate on them and let them become flesh in us for us to enjoy the full benefits if Jesus' salvation towards us. It is our duty to operate our covenant rights in Jesus. Salvation is not an end but a means to an end.

The workings of salvation is in this wise. Salvation gives us the legal status to stand against Satan's onslaught against the church [us] and to take back what he stole from us. We are not fighting for victory, but we are rather; standing from the point or position of victory to resist and take back. That is why Jesus said in the book of James: " Resist the devil and he will flee from you."

The operation of the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is to fully appropriate Calvary Victory in all areas of life and this is achieved by the hope Jesus has in us by His love, and this is how we remain under the new testament which is essence and truly the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.

Closing, let us all remember how powerful this statement is and must be fully understood, and appropriated. This is the bedrock of our salvation and this is the bedrock of living and walking in the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus:  II Corinthians 5: 17 - "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he his a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new."
