Christian Internet Evangelism: Outreach of BIBLE TRUTH MINISTRY INC. by Evangelist Larry Wolfe

"ARE YOU UNDER THE LAW?"

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, for the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit."(Romans 8:1-4)

This powerful statement penned by the Apostle Paul has to be the most liberating, the most freedom filled four verses of Scripture known to the redeemed child of God! Consider the impact of "no condemnation" to the soul that before salvation was condemned, undone, hell- bound, without hope, a virtual enemy of the God of Heaven! But now, if we will set our course to walk after the Spirit, the blessed Holy Spirit who is our constant Companion, the One Jesus sent to replace Himself, the Advocate of our soul, the Friend that sticketh closer than a brother, we can be totally free from any and all condemnation.

We must first of all set our course, walking after the Spirit, yielding our entire spirit, soul and body, on His path, His priorities, utilizing His power, which will bring us under the control of the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. This is in reality the out-working of the Spirit-filled life. As we yield control to the Holy Spirit, by faith trusting Him to guide our physical and spiritual steps, He then provides us with victory over the flesh, the nemesis of our soul. Yes, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus rules our spirit, and the law of sin and death has no power over this Mighty, Omnipotent Advocate of our soul!

This new Law is now the standard by which we live. This new Law regulates our thinking, our attitude, and our actions! As we walk by the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh! This new Law which is enforced by the Holy Spirit is activated when we yield to the Holy Spirit, when we crucify the flesh, putting to death the deeds of the body, and releasing by faith the Holy Spirit to rule, dominate, yes, He will utterly control every facet of our lives! Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

He now controls our very conduct, producing the righteousness of the law, the law as written in the Old Testament, the law that Christ came to fulfill, yes, and did fulfill, every jot and tittle! The Holy Spirit of God can and will produce this perfect righteousness in us as we walk in the Spirit, against such there is no law!

How do we yield control to the Holy Spirit? This is a spiritual work where supernatural but childllike faith is required. Just as in our salvation experience, we need to exercise our faith in the Promises of God, thereby expecting Him to do just what He promised. As we yield ourselves to God by faith He promises to take control and instruct and lead us in the way He wants us to go. As we walk in the Spirit by faith, He directs our paths, we abide in Him, Christ becomes our life and His will is accomplished through us, yes, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus now is the regulating force of our entire being.

But, where does this supernatural faith come from? Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God! The Word of Christ must dwell in us richly, for after all, the Lord Himself said: "The Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, they are life" (John 6:63). Memorization and meditation on the Holy Scriptures, is the only avenue to Spiritual success!(Joshua 1:8) When we feed the Spirit the only diet He desires and deserves, we will reap the benefits of sowing to the Spirit, thereby energizing and cultivating the ground upon which He lives and breathes.

So, yield by faith to the blessed Holy Spirit, bring yourself under the control of Him who loved us and gave Himself for us, and the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus will, as He promised, control and guide you! Yes, we who have been set at liberty by this Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus are no longer under the law of sin and death!
