You choose: Christ and life or your flesh and death.
Galatians 5:1 “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
It’s your choice. You can direct your attention to Christ and life or to your flesh and death.
Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.”
These are two conflicting laws. Consider the law of gravity. It holds you down to the earth unless another law overcomes it. When a rocket takes off, another law is stronger than the law of gravity. If the rocket continues, it can leave the influence of the earth’s gravitation completely and the sky’s the limit.
2 Peter 2:19 “They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.”
The world does promise a sort of freedom. It’s freedom from the goodness of God. They talk about love, but it’s a false, self-serving love. It’s not the love that God is. Their freedom is slavery to corruption.
1 John 1:8-9 “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Each of us has a sinful nature. We don’t deny that. We don’t identify with that sinful nature, but it deceives us every time we listen to it. When that happens, God is both faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness if we confess our fault to Him. Pride will stand in the way, but pride is just one more example of sin. Sin is slipping or stepping off the Path. The Path is Jesus Christ. The Path is that connection to Him through His leading and His power of grace to do righteousness through us. Jesus Christ is the Path to a kind of life that never ends. It’s a life where there is no sickness, sadness, or pain.
Ask God to answer these questions:
- What is the law of sin and death?
- How does the law of gravity relate to the law of the Spirit of life?
- What does it mean to be enslaved by corruption?
- Why do you need to confess your sins to God?
- What is your Path to a life that never ends?
Bonus questions:
- What are the law of the Spirit of life and the law of sin and death mentioned in Romans 8:2?
- What does this mean: For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved?
- Why does the world’s version of freedom lead to slavery to corruption?
- Explain Jesus is the Path and sin is leaving the Path.
- Explain the promise of a life without sickness, sadness, or pain.
- God designed you to be connected to Him. Without that constant connection, nothing works right. Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.
