For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:2 - NKJV.
People in the world have to get along with the Law of Sin and Death as best they can. They usually do this by taking out lots of insurance cover. Doctors, medicines and medical facilities are God's kindness towards them while the Law of Sin and Death continues to have sway in their lives.
The Law of Sin and Death is summed up by Paul in the short phrase, "The wages of sin is death!" However, there is another law - it's called the Law of the Spirit of Life. Paul sums this up by saying, "The gift of God is eternal life!" Romans 3:23.
Jesus came so that we could be liberated from the Law of Sin and Death by the Law of the Spirit of Life that is in Him. For those of us in Christ, God wants us to have more than just His kindness. He wants us to have His liberty. Jesus takes our lives out of the sphere of the Law of Sin and Death when we come into the sphere of the Law of the Spirit of Life.
