Freedom From the Law of Sin And Death
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. – Romans 8:1-2
What a hope! “There is therefore no condemnation.” We were born into a world of sin and began to sin before we even realized what we were doing. We lived under the sentence of death as a human and eternal death as a sinner – then, without any merit on our part, Jesus paid the price for our redemption.
Therefore, because of what Christ has done, there is no condemnation to those who walk by faith in Christ. The law of sin demands death – and Christ paid that debt. Now we are free from the law that demanded death for our sins.
Because we understand that, we walk in faith, committed to Christ, so that we do not fall back into the sinful patterns that were driving us toward eternal death.
Paul, in this passage in Romans, goes on to relate how the law was powerless over our sin nature; it remedied our sin but could do nothing about our tendency to sin. Jesus not only forgave our sins but he freed us from sinning.
In another place Paul writes, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). We are not free to sin, but we are freed from sin.
Prayer: Father, I thank you for what was accomplished by Jesus on the cross. Thank you for the relief from condemnation that I was under before I found Christ. I ask you for the grace to continue serving Christ in faith. In Jesus name. Amen.

Affirmation: I have received Jesus, the Christ, as my savior and Lord and He has freed me from the condemnation of the Law.
Reflection: "There is no condemnation." What a hope! Give some thought to 1) what it is that condemns us; 2) how we are freed from that condemnation.
