Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because
through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law
of sin and death.
Romans 8:1-2
We are no longer under the old covenant law of Moses which condemns us as sinners
and brings death when we violate its commandments. We are however under the new
law of the SPIRIT of life in Christ Jesus. Thus we are not lawless. Old covenant believers
tried to keep the laws of Moses to please God and receive blessings. If their
performance at law keeping was good, they received blessings. If they broke even one
law they received punishment, the curse and even death.
Thank God we have the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!
Under this law you are blessed and rewarded for the fact that Jesus perfectly kept all
the demands of the law of the old covenant and fulfilled it. God is pleased with you and
blesses you every day with good success because you have placed your faith in Jesus
and not in your own ability. There is only one way to please God and that is by placing
your faith in Jesus. “For without faith it is impossible to please God".
Stop trying to please God by your good behaviour, your hard work, your ministry, your
missions or your new list of your own 10 commandments to attract His favor and
blessing. Jesus already did everything and God is totally satisfied with what His Son did
on your behalf. Your job is simply to believe that and live in a loving relationship with
God. This relationship is lived out daily by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus.....and you get all the blessings and favor as unearned, unmerited favor. This law
frees you from any form of condemnation should you sin or fail in any way.
STOP TRYING TO EARN THAT WHICH WAS FREELY GIVEN TO YOU!
Don't try to please God, because you already did by the simple act of placing your faith
