What does God do inside a person's life according to Romans 8:2?
According to Romans 8:2, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus sets a person free from the law of sin and death. God comes into that life and performs an operation that gives a totally new outlook, along with hope for the eternity to come.
Les explains that Romans 8:2 presents two facts of life. One is that 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 to Romans 6:23, where the wages of sin is death, showing how sin and death are connected.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
