LIVING BY\u00a0THE\u00a0HIGHER LAW:\u00a0THE\u00a0LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE LIVE INDEED IN FREEDOM!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“There is\u00a0therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not WALK according to\u00a0the\u00a0flesh, but according to\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit. For\u00a0the\u00a0LAW of\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from\u00a0the\u00a0LAW of SIN and DEATH”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:1-2<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from\u00a0self-condemnation,\u00a0the\u00a0condemnation of demonic power and cohorts,\u00a0the\u00a0condemnation resulting from religion and religiosity, traditional dogmas, self-righteousness, denominational indoctrination, religious finger pointing and more of such like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw NONE but\u00a0the\u00a0woman, he said unto her, Woman, WHERE ARE THOSE THINE ACCUSERS? hath no man CONDEMNED\u00a0thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN\u00a0THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE”\u00a0<\/i>John 8:1-11<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0true that by\u00a0the\u00a0LAW OF GRAVITY,\u00a0there’s\u00a0the\u00a0downward pulling forces, such that when an object is thrown\u00a0up,\u00a0it falls by\u00a0the\u00a0gravitational pull. And\u00a0it’s\u00a0also true that by\u00a0the\u00a0LAW OF UPTHRUST – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and\u00a0the\u00a0ship floats and experiences\u00a0the\u00a0buoyancy in water bodies to gain upthrust to move about safely. In same scenario, it’s\u00a0high time to live FREE, enjoy true FREEDOM indeed that’s in Christ Jesus stead by\u00a0the\u00a0HIGHER LAW that overrides\u00a0the\u00a0natural laws of limitations and setbacks and failures; and\u00a0these onward and upward trajectory leverage\u00a0it,\u00a0irrespective of your past history of limitations, setbacks,\u00a0and failures. Once you are in Christ Jesus, your NEW DAY and NEW DAWN path to doing life and living godly\u00a0has come,\u00a0in essence,\u00a0to\u00a0God’s glory and praise. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us];\u00a0therefore\u00a0KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 5:1\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But\u00a0the\u00a0PATH of\u00a0the\u00a0just (righteous) is like\u00a0the\u00a0LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in]\u00a0the\u00a0PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, FULNESS, MATURE] day”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:18\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you know you are in Christ Jesus, it thus\u00a0indicates\u00a0a much more HIGHER LAWS\u00a0is\u00a0in operations in you.\u00a0The\u00a0HIGHER LAW – is\u00a0the\u00a0law of\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells in you – and it gives one freedom for an onward and upward trajectory to gain leverage from\u00a0the\u00a0law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more.\u00a0[Romans 8:1-2].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0my earnest PRAYER that you take advantage of\u00a0the\u00a0NEW CREATION\u00a0of God in\u00a0Christ Jesus, and\u00a0live to enjoy daily\u00a0the\u00a0freedom that God has offered you in Christ Jesus\u2019\u00a0stead.\u00a0Amen.\u00a0[2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is\u00a0therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to\u00a0the\u00a0flesh, but according to\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit. 2 For\u00a0the\u00a0LAW of\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from\u00a0the\u00a0LAW of sin and death”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:1-2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And\u00a0they that are Christ\u2019s have CRUCIFIED\u00a0the\u00a0FLESH with\u00a0the\u00a0AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit, let us also WALK in\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit”\u00a0<\/i>Galatians 5:24-25.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now thanks be unto God, which always\u00a0causeth\u00a0us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest\u00a0the\u00a0savour\u00a0of his knowledge by us in every place”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 2:14.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“As he\u00a0spake\u00a0these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31\u00a0Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him,\u00a0If\u00a0ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD,\u00a0then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW\u00a0THE\u00a0TRUTH, and\u00a0THE\u00a0TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE”<\/i>\u00a0John 8:30-32.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But ye are NOT in\u00a0the\u00a0FLESH, but in\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit, if so be that\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man\u00a0have\u00a0not\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you,\u00a0the\u00a0body is dead because of sin; but\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if\u00a0the\u00a0Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from\u00a0the\u00a0dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from\u00a0the\u00a0dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you”\u00a0<\/i>Romans 8:9-11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Forasmuch\u00a0then as\u00a0the\u00a0children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF\u00a0THE\u00a0SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had\u00a0the\u00a0POWER of death, that is,\u00a0the\u00a0devil; 15 and DELIVER\u00a0them who through FEAR of DEATH were all\u00a0their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 2:14-15.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God\u00a0the\u00a0Father, 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\u00a0the\u00a0WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 1:3-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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\u00a0the\u00a0ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling\u00a0the\u00a0world to Himself, not [a]imputing\u00a0their trespasses to\u00a0them, and has committed to us\u00a0the\u00a0word of reconciliation. 20 Now\u00a0then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ\u2019s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME\u00a0the\u00a0righteousness of God in Him”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 5:17-21\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
