A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.
2
because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
Romans 8:2 In-Context
1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
4
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
