Call UsSin-Free, Death-Free – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional January 19th
(You Are Free From Death And From Sin)
TO THE BIBLE: Romans 8:2
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
LET’S TALK
When you read today’s opening verse as it’s presented, you’re likely to think it’s talking about the law of “sin and death” as one entity.
But that’s not what the Spirit is communicating to us here. He’s actually referring to the law of sin on the one hand, and to death on the other.
For clarity, we could rearrange the words and the verse would read: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from ‘death’ and ‘the law of sin’” (Romans 8:2).
When you read it this way, it suddenly opens up and the meaning becomes very clear: it’s not “the law of sin and death” but “the law (or principle) of sin” on the one hand, and “death” on the other.
This means the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you death-free in the same way that it made you sin-free! Hallelujah!
This law of the Spirit of life or law of life is also referred to as the law of liberty in James 1:25 and James 2:12.
John said, “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you… that you may know that you have eternal life…” (1 John 5:12-13).
This (eternal) life is in the Son, and since you have it, you’re not supposed to struggle with sin, sickness, disease, infirmities and death.
Think about this: at 120 years, Moses’ eyes weren’t dim and his natural force was unabated (Deuteronomy 34:7).
Moses lived under the Old Covenant, but he had a consciousness of life; He knew the Word of God invigorates and makes alive (Deuteronomy 32:46-47).
Have the same mentality, because when you were born again, you passed from death to life and from sin into righteousness. Hallelujah!

John 5:24;1 John 5:11-13
Speak:
I’ve been translated from the realm of death into the realm of life! In my path, there’s no death, there’s no darkness; the God-life is inherent in me. Therefore, I refuse to accommodate anything that’s of darkness, for I live by the law of the Spirit of life, and in that realm, only life controls. Hallelujah!
