What change does God make in our life according to Romans 8:2?
According to Romans 8:2, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes a person free from the law of sin and death. God is able to come in and perform an operation in our life that totally gives us a new outlook, hope for eternity, instead of being locked in sin and death.
Les teaches from Romans 8:2 that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. He says this presents two facts of life: God is able to come in and do an operation in our life that totally gives us a new outlook on life and hope for the eternity to come. It is a whole new ball game compared to being locked in to sin and death. He connects this with Romans 6:23, where the wages of sin is death, showing how sin and death are linked.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
