THE HIGHER LAW – THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS

THE HIGHER LAW – THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS: ASSURED THE TRUTH THAT GIVES FREEDOM FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH!  

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” John 14:6 

“As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you ABIDE [CONTINUE] in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32/Amplified. 

Every day, and in every phase of doing life, people crave TRUTH, without THE TRUTH. 

Employers want people of good character, with the assurance that such people will uphold the truth. 
The people elect leaders, and leaders appoint people to places of leadership and governance, on the basis that they will uphold the truth and be truthful in character. 
And people look to families, friends, colleagues, business partners, relationships, religious leaders and such like, with the hope that truth will be upheld in every situation. 

Unfortunately, that does not become the reality — because THE TRUTH is not factored into the context of truth, though it is expected. And that makes it elusive in so many ways. 

The simple reason for this is that people are not in tune with the higher law: the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:2 
So over time, people have lied, and are still lying, by using the language of righteousness to mislead people in their unrighteous acts of doing life as it is written: 

“For [God does not OVERLOOK sin and] the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men who in their WICKEDNESS SUPPRESS and STIFLE THE TRUTH, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them” Romans 1:18-19/Amplified  

What then is THE TRUTH, and how can THE TRUTH factor into our being to become our reality in doing life and living godly in the grace? 

THE TRUTH is Jesus! He is not truth but THE TRUTH John 14:6. 
And when He is not factored into the context of our doing life and living godly in the grace, we fall into make-believe truth and not THE TRUTH. 

For THE TRUTH operates in the realm of the higher law — the law of the Spirit of life life-giving — that is in Christ Jesus Romans 8:2. 
And it is in the working of this higher law that we are set free. We receive FREEDOM from the law of sin and death — that which many desire to have within them and offer to others. But without Him, it remains an illusion to attain by human effort: truth without THE TRUTH. 

It is by you, the believing child of God in Christ Jesus, ensuring and assuring to be doing life and living godly by THE HIGHER LAW — THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, that you can activate and actualise the FREEDOM in your innermost being. 
This enables you to live over and above the severity of the RUDIMENTARY PRINCIPLES of this world — which operate within THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. 

Otherwise, the intent to hope for THE TRUTH that is beyond facts will only end as fate, and not in faith — in the faith. For you cannot emancipate any man with anything less than a man. 

That is why the acts of sacrifice — like the killing of animals such as bulls, rams, turtledoves and lambs in the Old Testament — could not remit man’s sin and sinful nature, nor bring about wholesome redemption. 

For SIN, and its corresponding effects, are summed up in these three: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. 
These have been the daily life challenges of humanity — to overcome and be free from them in every aspect, context and concept of life. 

And to overcome and have freedom within, as a synergy to doing life and living godly in the grace, God used something higher than man, and in the likeness of man, to deliver and emancipate man from the bondage of sin and death. 

Sin — which is disobedience to God’s given instructions and commands — is the reason for POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. 
And God’s command, especially when it is direct and specific, is not advice to take or leave. It is divine instruction to be obeyed with a willing and obedient spirit. 

The act of Adam disobeying the express instruction of God, knowing the intent and repercussion, was treason. It was like saying, “I am going to break your word intentionally, while you go and do your worst.” 
That “worst” has resulted in: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH to all mankind. 
For though he himself was not cursed per se, the place — the ground — of his livelihood and cultivation was cursed Genesis 3:17-19. Ever since then mankind has had to work through the cultivating process to make a living. 
Adam died spiritually first, and in time he died physically. And because the blood — of Jesus, the Lamb — was shed to keep him clothed Genesis 3:21, he was saved eternally. 

Spiritual death results in and precedes physical death, and where there is no remedy, eternal death follows. 

That is why when THE TRUTH is not taught, not known, and is suppressed and denied with mere facts that bear no truth, then ignorance, erroneous living, foolishness and such like will crowd the minds of people. They will make and keep making false judgements about THE TRUTH in their lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15; Matthew 22:29; Romans 1:18-32 

Furthermore, another effect of not having the assurance of THE TRUTH in context and application is that people resort to denominational indoctrination, religious dogmas, sectarianism, traditionalism and such like — man-made by-laws of dos and don’ts. Colossians 2:8-23; Galatians 4:1-5, 8-11; Romans 8:1-11 

And though in the days of ignorance God overlooked such things Acts 17:30, He now commands all men everywhere to locate THE TRUTH, because judgement day is coming. 

And by THE HIGHER LAW — THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, we can know the truth that emancipates and gives ASSURED FREEDOM in the grace — without sentiment, prejudice or dissimulation in every context of life doing and living. John 8:32 

“Therefore God OVERLOOKED and DISREGARDED the former ages of IGNORANCE; but now He COMMANDS all people everywhere to repent [that is, to change their old way of thinking, to regret their past sins, and to seek God’s purpose for their lives], 31 because He has set a day when He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed and destined for that task, and He has provided credible proof to everyone by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/Amplified. 

“And now I commend you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to the word of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is able to build you up and to give you the [rightful] inheritance among all those who are sanctified [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified. 

It is time to make a resolute, intentional and pragmatic decision to lay hold of the realm of the higher law — the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus — to enable you to be above, only and always, in the grace, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

There is the bondage of the Adamic nature, the result of which was the curse of the fall. 
And to address the curse of the fall came the Mosaic Law with conditional blessings that were accompanied by curses — for sin, sinful disobedience, and death is the final consequence of disobedience. 

This cursed nature and its effects are what the higher law — the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus — has come to deal with. 
It assures and ensures that the redemptive freedom in Christ is actualised in you, in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING & PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” John 14:6 

“As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you ABIDE [CONTINUE] in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32/Amplified. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it . . .14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and TRUTH . . . 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17. 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from THE LAW of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh . . . 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also GIVE LIFE to your MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you . . .14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God . . . 17] and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together” Romans 8:1-17. 

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by THE LAW. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor” Galatians 3:10-25. 

“12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) . . . 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing]. 5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]. 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to FREEDOM; only do not let your FREEDOM become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another . . . 16 But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law” Galatians 5:1-18/Amplified. 

“. . . For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:1-13. 

SUMMARY: 
This is a doctrinal charge calling believers back to Christ as THE TRUTH and to walk by THE HIGHER LAW — the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2). It contrasts human “truth” with THE TRUTH who is a Person and shows how freedom is only actualised in Him. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE UNIVERSAL CRAVING VS THE DIVINE ANSWER

Every day, in every sphere of life — work, governance, family, business, religion — people crave TRUTH. 
Employers want integrity. Citizens want honest leaders. People want truthful relationships. 
The problem: They are craving truth without THE TRUTH. 
Because THE TRUTH is not factored into the context, it becomes elusive. 
Romans 1:18-19 — Men suppress and stifle THE TRUTH in their unrighteousness. 

THE ANSWER: THE TRUTH is Jesus (John 14:6). 
He is not an idea or a principle. He is a Person. Without Him, we fall into make-believe truth.  

  1. HOW THE TRUTH BECOMES OUR REALITY: THE HIGHER LAW

THE TRUTH operates in the realm of THE HIGHER LAW — the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2). 
This is a life-giving law. 
It is by this law that we are set free from THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. 
(John 8:31-32 )— “If you abide in My word… you shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE.” 

Application: As believing children of God, we must intentionally ensure we are doing life and living godly by THE HIGHER LAW. That is how we activate and actualise FREEDOM in our innermost being. 
This enables us to live above the RUDIMENTARY PRINCIPLES of this world (Colossians 2:8, 20). 

Without Him, any attempt at truth is just human effort. It ends as fate, not faith. 

  1. WHY THE OLD SYSTEM COULD NOT FREE US
    The Adamic Nature: Brought the curse of the fall. (Genesis 3:17-19) 
    Adam’s disobedience was treason. The result: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH came upon all mankind (Romans 5:12-17). 
    The Mosaic Law: Was given to expose sin. It offered conditional blessings with curses (Galatians 3:10-13). 
    But it was weak through the flesh (Romans 8:3). It could not remit sin or give life. 
    It was a tutor to bring us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). 

Animal sacrifices — bulls, rams, lambs — could not deal with sin and its effects (Hebrews 10:1-4). 
Something higher than man was needed.  

  1. THE REMEDY: CHRIST, THE WORD MADE FLESH

God sent His Son in the likeness of man (Romans 8:3). 
John 1:1, 14, 17 — “In the beginning was THE WORD… and THE WORD became flesh… full of grace and TRUTH. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ.” 

Through His death and resurrection: 

  • He condemned sin in the flesh Romans 8:3 
  • He redeemed us from the curse of the law Galatians 3:13 
  • He clothed Adam with blood Genesis 3:21 — a picture of eternal redemption 
  • He gives life to our mortal bodies by His Spirit Romans 8:11 

Result: “There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus…” Romans 8:1  

  1. THE CONSEQUENCE OF IGNORING THE TRUTH

When THE TRUTH is not taught or known: 

Ignorance and Error: Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15 — People make false judgements. 

Religion and Bondage: People resort to denominational indoctrination, dogmas, sectarianism, traditionalism and man-made rules. Colossians 2:8-23; Galatians 4:1-11 

Suppression: Romans 1:18 — Ungodliness and unrighteousness stifle THE TRUTH. 

Though God overlooked times of ignorance (Acts 17:30), He now commands all men everywhere to repent and locate THE TRUTH, because judgement day is coming (Acts 17:31). 

  1. THE CALL: A RESOLUTE DECISION

It is time to make a resolute, intentional and pragmatic decision to lay hold of THE HIGHER LAW. 
To walk habitually in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 18). 
To be led by the Spirit (Romans 8:14). 
To stand firm in the freedom Christ has set us free with (Galatians 5:1). 

By THE HIGHER LAW we know the truth that emancipates and gives ASSURED FREEDOM in the grace — without sentiment, prejudice or dissimulation (John 8:32). 
(Acts 20:32) — “His grace is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 

In one sentence: 
Human truth without THE TRUTH will always fail. Only by abiding in Jesus and walking by the law of the Spirit of life can we be set free, live above the curse, and inherit the grace of God.

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE LIVE INDEED IN FREEDOM! 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not WALK according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2 

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self-condemnation, the condemnation of demonic power and cohorts, the condemnation resulting from religion and religiosity, traditional dogmas, self-righteousness, denominational indoctrination, religious finger pointing and more of such like. 

“. . . 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw NONE but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? hath no man CONDEMNED thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE” John 8:1-11 

It’s true that by the LAW OF GRAVITY, there’s the downward pulling forces, such that when an object is thrown up, it falls by the gravitational pull. And it’s also true that by the LAW OF UPTHRUST – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences the buoyancy in water bodies to gain upthrust to move about safely. In same scenario, it’s high time to live FREE, enjoy true FREEDOM indeed that’s in Christ Jesus stead by the HIGHER LAW that overrides the natural laws of limitations and setbacks and failures; and these onward and upward trajectory leverage it, irrespective of your past history of limitations, setbacks, and failures. Once you are in Christ Jesus, your NEW DAY and NEW DAWN path to doing life and living godly has come, in essence, to God’s glory and praise. Amen. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/AMP. 

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, FULNESS, MATURE] day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP. 

When you know you are in Christ Jesus, it thus indicates a much more HIGHER LAWS is in operations in you. The HIGHER LAW – is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells in you – and it gives one freedom for an onward and upward trajectory to gain leverage from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more. [Romans 8:1-2]. 

It’s my earnest PRAYER that you take advantage of the NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus, and live to enjoy daily the freedom that God has offered you in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2. 

“And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“But ye are NOT in the FLESH, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11. 

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15. 

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our SINS, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT evil world, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

“Therefore, if ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV. 

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [a]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a NEW CREATION. 16 And as many as WALK ACCORDING TO THIS RULE, PEACE and MERCY be upon them, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16/NKJV. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the concept of living by the “Higher Law” of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, which sets believers free from condemnation, sin, and death (Romans 8:1-2). This Higher Law overrides the natural laws of limitations, setbacks, and failures, enabling believers to live in freedom, triumph, and victory. 

Key points: 

  • In Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation, meaning freedom from self-condemnation, demonic condemnation, and religious condemnation (John 8:1-11, Romans 8:1-2).  
  • The Higher Law of the Spirit of life gives believers freedom from the law of sin and death, including bondages, fears, and limitations (Romans 8:1-2).  
  • Believers are new creations in Christ Jesus, and their new day and new dawn path to living godly has come (2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Galatians 6:14-16). 
  • To live in this freedom, believers must walk according to the Spirit, crucify the flesh, and continue in God’s Word (Galatians 5:24-25, John 8:30-32). 
  • The Higher Law enables believers to overcome gravitational pulls of sin and limitations, just like aircraft overcome gravity and ships experience buoyancy in water (Romans 8:1-2).  
  • Believers are ambassadors of Christ, reconciled to God, and empowered to live in triumph and victory (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). 

The message encourages believers to take advantage of their new creation in Christ Jesus and live in the freedom, peace, and mercy that God has offered them.

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE LIVE INDEED IN FREEDOM! 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not WALK according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2 

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self-condemnation, the condemnation of demonic power and cohorts, the condemnation resulting from religion and religiosity, traditional dogmas, self-righteousness, denominational indoctrination, religious finger pointing and more of such like. 

“. . . 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw NONE but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? hath no man CONDEMNED thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE” John 8:1-11 

It’s true that by the LAW OF GRAVITY, there’s the downward pulling forces, such that when an object is thrown up, it falls by the gravitational pull. And it’s also true that by the LAW OF UPTHRUST – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences the buoyancy in water bodies to gain upthrust to move about safely.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/AMP. 

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, FULNESS, MATURE] day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP. 

When you know you are in Christ Jesus, it thus indicates a much more HIGHER LAWS is in operations in you. The HIGHER LAW – is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells in you – and it gives one freedom for an onward and upward trajectory to gain leverage from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more. [Romans 8:1-2]. 

It’s my earnest PRAYER, that you take advantage of the NEW CREATION you are in Christ Jesus and live to enjoy daily the freedom that God has offered you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2. 

“And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“But ye are NOT in the FLESH, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11. 

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [a]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a NEW CREATION. 16 And as many as WALK ACCORDING TO THIS RULE, PEACE and MERCY be upon them, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16/NKJV. ‘

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM! 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2. 

In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written: 

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34. 

Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION. 

It’s true that the law of gravity pulls things down when things are thrown up. But it’s also true that aircraft overcome gravity by upthrust, and ships float due to buoyancy. Likewise, there’s a higher law that overcomes sin’s law – it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like. 

Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified. 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV. 

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36. 

“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15. 

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE LIVES INDEED IN FREEDOM!
 
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not WALK according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2.
 
In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self-condemnation, the condemnation of demonic power and cohorts, the condemnation resulting from religion and religiosity, traditional dogmas, self-righteousness, denominational indoctrination, religious finger pointing and more of such like.
 
“. . . 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw NONE but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? hath no man CONDEMNED thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE”John 8:1-11.
 
It’s true that by the LAW OF GRAVITY, there’s the downward pulling forces, such that when an object is thrown up it falls by the gravitational pull. And it’s also true that by the LAW OF UPTHRUST – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences the buoyancy in water bodies to gain upthrust to move about safely. In same scenario, it’s a high time to live FREE, enjoy true FREEDOM indeed that’s in Christ Jesus stead by the HIGHER LAW that overrides the natural laws of limitations and setbacks and failures; and these onward and upward trajectory leverage it’s irrespective of your past history of limitations, setbacks and failures. Once you are in Christ Jesus, your NEW DAY and NEW DAWN path to doing life and living godly is come in essence to God’s glory and praise. Amen.
 
“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]”Galatians 5:1/AMP.
 
“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, FULNESS, MATURE] day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP.
 
When you know you are in Christ Jesus, it thus indicates a much more HIGHER LAWS it’s in operations in you. The HIGHER LAW – is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells in you – and it gives one freedom for an onward and upward trajectory to gain leverage from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more. [Romans 8:1-2].
 
It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that you take advantage of the NEW CREATION you of God in Christ Jesus, and live to enjoy daily the freedom that God has offered you in Christ Jesus stead . Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self-condemnation, demonic power and cohorts, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing and more of such like.

Its true that the law of gravity indicates the pulling forces that when things are thrown up, they falls. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence, it’s a high time to live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. Simply because the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom, onward and upward trajectory from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“But ye are NOT in the FLESH, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our SINS, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT evil world, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.

The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself.” Exodus:193-4

The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19.

The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise  – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.

The EAGLES, are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the likelihood characteristics of the Eagle are of the following but not limited:

** The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION

** The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS

** The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS

** The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY

** The Eagles are known as HIGH flyers – ALTITUDE

** The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING

** The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON SCAVENGER

** The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY

** The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING

** The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT

** . . . and such like.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.

Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.

Its true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.

Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.

“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.
