The scriptures of God and Jesus Christ, despite what blinded hearts say, those scriptures cannot be broken. They are unbreakable no matter the attacks of men to nullify them. Just like when men fought against the word of Christ resurrection talk, though they strongly opposed those words, Christ rose again from the dead anyway because the scriptures cannot be broken, THEY CANNOT LIE OR DECEIVE OR FAIL TO COME TO PASS. God Is Holy & HE CANNOT LIE.
Even so the scriptures that we find in Romans 8:1-2, those scriptures cannot be broken or lie or fail. They are backed by all the integrity of God and the sceptre of Flawless Righteousness. We read in those scriptures that the LAW of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.
Friends I want you to note here the importance of this fact, that we are talking about REAL LAWS here. A REAL LAW. Even about Laws that rule. Laws that govern over. Laws that men are in full subjection to. The one I want us to focus on right here briefly is the Law of Sin and death found in Romans 8:2. Notice with me that this Law is a governing law overpowering men and that men have to be SET FREE FROM that law. Notice verse 2 again...For the LAW of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has MADE ME FREE from the LAW of Sin and death. One Law conquered another LAW.
This Law (the law of sin and death) brothers and sisters is such a powerful spiritual LAW that no man by himself has any religious power or non religious power to overcome this LAW by himself. Just as none of us can overcome the Law of physical death by any means of our selves no matter how hard we try, even so there is not a one of us that can overcome the spiritual LAW of Sin and Death by ourselves or by our own power, efforts, good deeds or bad deeds. All of us and I do mean everyone of us are totally helpless and without strength in combating the LAW of sin and spiritual death.
It is in this light of the Law of Sin and Death Connection, that the world is deceived to think that by themselves, by their philosophies, by their cults, by their good deed religions, or by self discipline and world education that they can by these things overcome and prevail over the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH and enter heavens glory by their own doings, efforts and deeds, but such is impossible. (See Matthew 19:16-26...Jesus said, Salvation by man is IMPOSSIBLE...Jesus knew and understood the Law of sin and death. Mankind on the most part was blind to this light and its LAW just as the world also, though it was made by Jesus Christ, THE WORLD WAS BLIND TO WHO HE REALLY WAS AND THEY KNEW HIM NOT (John 1:10), NOR DID THE WORLD UNDERSTAND HIS SPEECH (John 8:42-45). It is only by understanding the redemption light of the Law of sin and death that the Cross of Christ begins to make it's real significant sense to people in the plan of redemption.
The spiritual Law of sin and death is as binding to the spirit of man as physical death is sure and binding to the physical man. But physical death has a hope with it and that is that to dust it returns and is no more. BUT THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH that effects the soul or spirit of man has an eternity of agony and living death consequence attached to it (Hell and the Lake of Fire). And it was this law, the law of sin and death that Jesus by way of the Cross came to take on and to make free from that law those who believed and received Him.
In Genesis 1:28, When Jesus told Adam and Eve to be fruitful, and to multiply and to replenish the earth, He told them this when they were STILL PURE IN HEART and undefiled and free of sin. What was created holy was to beget holy children until the whole world was replenished with HOLY SINLESS PURE IN HEART CHILDREN AND PEOPLE that would daily SEE GOD. As it is written, Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall SEE GOD. Had they sinned not, then the law of the spirit of life that they were created with would have governed them for ALL ETERNITY with no death or end in sight. The Law of the spirit of life would have prevailed forever because those laws revealed in Romans 8:2 are powerful Laws and they reach in their far reaching power unto ETERNAL AND EVERLASTING MEASURES. However, we all know from the scriptures that in the temptation of Adam & Eve which literally happened just as the scriptures reveal, they sinned against Gods One Law that had THE GOVERNING LAW OF SIN AND DEATH ATTACHED TO IT IN CONSEQUENCE BY THE WORD OF THE GOD THAT CANNOT LIE. And also they transgressed against even the nature of their own holiness and sinless spirit and the consequence of that SIN TYPE reached Satanic monumental proportions, bringing forth another great fall from heaven to hell, from life everlasting to deaths endless grip, for many (Jesus said) shall never escape its grip and power over them. Also, it even reached unto the Throne of God in it's challenging effects of Gods great love.
Adam & Eves sin was so monumental and so FAR REACHING that it reached into all the children to come and into the love and throne of God itself and brought the glorious ONE of heaven to earth and nailed to the Cross the Son of God. Seeing that picture itself of Jesus Christ and him crucified tells us all that the Law of sin and death is by no means a joking or lite matter. It also reveals to the world a mighty warning. If the Son was not spared the cross, how much more shall those who count the blood of His Son as worthless be left abandoned of mercy though they cry for one drop of grace in hell.
CHRIST OWN taste of death itself was the only way to break the power that the law of sin and death had over MANKIND for the mouth of God spoke Genesis 1:28 and Genesis 2:15-17 into heavens law books of the IT IS WRITTEN making those words GOD SPOKEN and EVER BINDING LAWS. Laws that were so binding and so powerful and so upheld by God that He would honor and uphold those laws even to His own hurt, THE CROSS ITSELF PROVES THIS.
Wisdom: The Law Giver (The Judge Himself) had to taste death itself and by his death alone, the Law He gave to Adam and Eve COULD BE AND WAS ERASED. Only the LAW giver had the power to undo the Law He gave of Genesis 2:15-17). He could not simply say, Ahh forget what I said. Lets just start all over. I forgive all. If it was that easy so it would have been, but we see instead a crying Son ripped unrecognizable upon a Cross to take away, to take away, to take away the sin of the world. For sin is the transgression of Gods Law, but where there is NO LAW sin has lost its grip and power. Where there is no Law there is NO TRANSGRESSION. This is the Law of Redemption.
It was the REMOVAL OF THE LAW THAT THE CROSS OF CHRIST WAS AFTER TO ATTACK AND TO DESTROY.The only way for that Law to be justifiably undone and erased was that the Law Giver Become Flesh and Dwell Amongst us. Then in innocents become CURSED (Galations 3:13-14) and taste the death of the Law to erase those words/laws by dissolving them of their power and strength by dissolving from himself life by death to the death degree that He Himself had to be raised from the dead. If He tasted the full taste of death, then the Law of sin and of death (which was of LESSER life and power could legally die and be stripped of its destroying powers and be done away with also and never to rise to power again. And no one in heaven or in hell could rightly argue this transaction and case. For He (GOD HIMSELF) paid the price. God Himself tasted THAT DEATH. The scriptures tell us that Jesus tasted death itself for every person in order to redeem us unto God and to deliver us OUT FROM UNDER THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH(Galations 4:3-7) and to bring us unto His glory (Hebrews 2:9-11).
You see none of ours or the worlds GOOD DEEDS could remove the law of sin and death off of ourselves, just as no matter how good we try to be and work, none of us have the power to remove physical death off of ourselves by means of good, healthy and clean living. They are laws to powerful and to attached and to binding for us to overcome and defeat by our religious good deeds, or non religious good deeds, or by any of our strengths. God in Christ had to come into our world to do this FOR US. Read Romans 5:1-21) And when GOD the LAWGIVER HIMSELF tasted death as the price for the law of sin and deaths removal off of our spirit being and for our being MADE FREE from it, NO ONE COULD RIGHTLY ARGUE AGAINST IT (Read Romans 8:28-39). Who can argue with a mighty God who in His love tasted the horrible death of a Cross to save His creature. No one in their right mind could, only the religiously blind, and the liars and the deceivers would.
Thank God for the Cross of Christ. His death on the Cross and His erasing blood was our only hope. When in His Death He took away the Law, He took away sins imputing power off the world. He erased the Law of sin and death with the power of his own blood. His death was the Laws final breath. Jesus is risen indeed. Amen.....deno.....please share freely.
