The Law of the Spirit of Life

The Apostle Paul, right in the middle of this letter to the Romans, says that something… in fact Someone, has come into the life of the Christian and has brought the law of the Spirit of life. The RULE of the Spirit of life. The Principle of the Spirit of life. In other words… the Spirit of God IN US, now becomes the most distinctive characteristic of the Christian. He is what is always running in the background. He is what is leading us and transforming us.

So, this morning I want us to see that Life in the Spirit is succumbing to the law of the Spirit, to give way to the Law of the Spirit in your life. We all live by a code, a rule., a law of life… And for the Christian, it is the Spirit. I want to tackle this amazing passage… in four brief points. And, I want to do it by actually turning to Jesus, to God the Son, and let the way the Spirit influenced His life shape the way we see the law of the Spirit of life in our lives. We'll look at first…The God who Sends…. Second, The God who Trains… Third, The God who Dwells… and Finally… The God who frees…This is the law of the Spirit in the Life of the Christian.
