The
life-altering announcement of “no condemnation” rings in our ears from verse 1
and now it only gets better. FREEDOM – Free from the law of sin and death.
FREEDOM – when in the past all I knew was the law and my short-comings in
fulfilling it. FREEDOM – not of my own doing but freedom that comes in the
Spirit of life in Jesus Christ.
It reminds
me of one of my favorite songs:
There
is a wall that has been standing, since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started, and Sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner, who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it fell ….
This is how it feels to be free. This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
Sin is where it started, and Sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner, who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it fell ….
This is how it feels to be free. This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
The
law has its role. It shows me the holiness of God. It reveals my sin. It
reminds me time and again of my need for something that is not in me. It hits
me again and again with legal evidence
