The Law of The Spirit of Life

Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

The word for law here means a governing principle or power. Before Christ we were under the power of sin and death (separated from the God-kind of life). But in Christ Jesus we now have the governing power of the Spirit of life, which is translated as a life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, and blessed. The old nature of sin leading to death has been removed. As you receive a new spirit within you, your spirit now has residing in it the Spirit of God Himself. His Spirit is where this “Zoe” life comes from.

To walk in this new Zoe life within us we must as Paul states a few verses after this, get our mind focused on the spirit man, and not on the flesh. Simply put, we must renew our mind to see ourselves through our new spirit, in union with Christ. You renew your mind to this union by looking at the in Him, in Christ, in Whom scriptures in the New Testament that reveal this new you. If we will start getting this new view on life from the spirit man united with Christ, and we follow the leading of the inward man, we will experience the freedom we have been given from the rule of sin and death.

When we follow the leading of our spirit, we are being led by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit man. We need to listen to what our spirit is leading us to do. Our conscience is the voice of our new spirit man. When you have an inward peace within you are in agreement with God, but when you have an agitation within your spirit, you are not following after the Holy Spirit. Follow this inward witness and start seeing yourself for who you really are, a spirit who is one with Christ. As you do you will experience the governing power of the Spirit of life over you, and walk free from the power of sin and death.
