The Law of Sin and Death versus the Law of the Spirit of Life

The law of gravity has been enforced by God since the creation of the earth. We normally define the law as “what goes up must come down.” But it was more precisely defined by Isaac Newton in his work Philosophical Naturalis Principe Mathematica in 1687. What goes up must come down has been true forever.

Then mankind learned something about the laws of aerodynamics. Aerodynamics has three components: thrust, drag, and lift. Once man was able to determine how to offset drag, create lift, and what can propel an airplane forward despite the law of gravity, he was able to design and create airplanes. The laws of aerodynamics offset the law of gravity.

The law of sin and death has also been around since mankind was born. Adam and Eve sinned; therefore, they died (Genesis 3:3). The law of sin and death still governs mankind. “Just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).

Despite the fact that the law of Moses was “holy, and righteous and good” (Rom. 7:12), without a Savior, it could not break the hold that the law of sin and death held over mankind.

Although, exact action mechanism of the viagra professional canada learn this here now is still a controversial topic. Then Jesus came. While Paul does not emphasize His sinlessness in the letter of Romans, he does emphasize His resurrection from the dead (beginning with 1:4 with at least a dozen references in Romans). The point Paul emphasizes in Romans 5 is that “Christ died for the ungodly” (5:6), “Christ died for us” (5:8), and “we shall be saved by His life” (5:10).

That law, that Christ died for us and we can be united together with Him in His death through baptism (Rom. 6:4), is called the “law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.” That law is stronger than the law of sin and death.

Under which law are you living?
