The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus sets us free from the law of sin and death. We are free from the law of sin and death only to the degree that we follow the law of the spirit. If we know what is right but insist on doing wrong, our actions may still lead us to miss out on the abundant life God has for us.
If you follow the law of the Spirit, you will remain completely free from the law of sin and death. The Holy Spirit will lead you into holiness, into righteousness, and into the complete destiny that God has for you. God’s will for you is greater than anything you can imagine for yourself. Be willing to obey God even when you don’t understand what he is doing.
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Roman 8:2 ESV
