A Different Kind of Law

● ● ●

A person who lives by the indwelling life of Christ through the Holy Spirit is a person who is under a law. But it is not the Law of Moses. Nor is it a law that some preacher created from his own personal standards.

No, the law I’m referring to is “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:2 KJV). This law is like the law of gravity; it’s a constant force or power.

You and I have an indwelling Lord. The Law of God has been written in our hearts because Jesus Christ lives within us by His Spirit. This is the promise of the new covenant (see Hebrews 8 and 2 Corinthians 3).

Spiritual people are those who live by the Lord’s life that indwells them. They know by instinct what the will of God is (1 John 2:27).

When the Spirit leads them, they yield to it (for the most part)—no matter what the cost. And life and peace are the results (Romans 8:6).

The external Law, then, is no longer an outward thing full of dead letters and cold commands. It has been transferred into the indwelling life of Christ.

To live by Christ is our high calling as people of the insurgence.
