Whose spirit?

After Romans 8:1-11

Whose spirit?

The spirit of the law?

Your spirit? Mine?

Someone else’s?

The answer matters;

it’s not rhetorical.

It’s not hypothetical.

It’s a matter

of life and death.

It’s a matter

of your life and 

death. To answer it,

you need help.

So, ask.

Set free

After Romans 8:1-11

We’re set free

from the law,

the law of death,

to embrace

the law of life,

the spirit of life,

We’re set free from

the law of death,

the law of sin

and death.

A substitution

was made, 

a sacrifice

acceptable,

fulfilling what

the law required,

and liberating from

the penalty required.

It’s that simple.

It’s that monumental.
