LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW 

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE LIVE INDEED IN FREEDOM! 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not WALK according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2 

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self-condemnation, the condemnation of demonic power and cohorts, the condemnation resulting from religion and religiosity, traditional dogmas, self-righteousness, denominational indoctrination, religious finger pointing and more of such like. 

“. . . 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw NONE but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? hath no man CONDEMNED thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE” John 8:1-11 

It’s true that by the LAW OF GRAVITY, there’s the downward pulling forces, such that when an object is thrown up, it falls by the gravitational pull. And it’s also true that by the LAW OF UPTHRUST – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences the buoyancy in water bodies to gain upthrust to move about safely. In same scenario, it’s high time to live FREE, enjoy true FREEDOM indeed that’s in Christ Jesus stead by the HIGHER LAW that overrides the natural laws of limitations and setbacks and failures; and these onward and upward trajectory leverage it, irrespective of your past history of limitations, setbacks, and failures. Once you are in Christ Jesus, your NEW DAY and NEW DAWN path to doing life and living godly has come, in essence, to God’s glory and praise. Amen. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/AMP. 

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, FULNESS, MATURE] day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP. 

When you know you are in Christ Jesus, it thus indicates a much more HIGHER LAWS is in operations in you. The HIGHER LAW – is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells in you – and it gives one freedom for an onward and upward trajectory to gain leverage from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more. [Romans 8:1-2]. 

It’s my earnest PRAYER that you take advantage of the NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus, and live to enjoy daily the freedom that God has offered you in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2. 

“And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“But ye are NOT in the FLESH, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11. 

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15. 

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our SINS, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT evil world, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

“Therefore, if ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV. 

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [a]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a NEW CREATION. 16 And as many as WALK ACCORDING TO THIS RULE, PEACE and MERCY be upon them, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16/NKJV. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the concept of living by the “Higher Law” of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, which sets believers free from condemnation, sin, and death (Romans 8:1-2). This Higher Law overrides the natural laws of limitations, setbacks, and failures, enabling believers to live in freedom, triumph, and victory. 

Key points: 

• In Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation, meaning freedom from self-condemnation, demonic condemnation, and religious condemnation (John 8:1-11, Romans 8:1-2).  

• The Higher Law of the Spirit of life gives believers freedom from the law of sin and death, including bondages, fears, and limitations (Romans 8:1-2).  

• Believers are new creations in Christ Jesus, and their new day and new dawn path to living godly has come (2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Galatians 6:14-16). 

• To live in this freedom, believers must walk according to the Spirit, crucify the flesh, and continue in God’s Word (Galatians 5:24-25, John 8:30-32). 

• The Higher Law enables believers to overcome gravitational pulls of sin and limitations, just like aircraft overcome gravity and ships experience buoyancy in water (Romans 8:1-2).  

• Believers are ambassadors of Christ, reconciled to God, and empowered to live in triumph and victory (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). 

The message encourages believers to take advantage of their new creation in Christ Jesus and live in the freedom, peace, and mercy that God has offered them.
