Subject: Law of the Spirit, life in Christ Jesus? |
Bible Note: Hi DL5, I appreciate your spirit and your prayers for me as a brother in Christ. However, please don't misunderstand me or agree with me on something that I indeed did not say. You said that I was right on the "law of spirit" [sic]. However, I had expressed that I would have "law of the Spirit" capitalized for Romans 8:2. The "law of the Spirit" compared well to my mind with the "law of God in the inner man", Romans 7:22. Looking at Romans 8:15 we are in agreement for choosing the reception of a "spirit of adoption as sons"; for the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 9:4-8 does not speak of the law of the Spirit however. Verse 5 talks of the Messiah, the (Man) according to the flesh; even the one God [and God is Spirit] who is blessed forever. So it is that verse 8 says that the children of the flesh are not children of God [for God is Spirit]. Rather, the children of the "promise" are regarded as descendants. And what is the "promise" if not the "spirit of adoption as sons" that we have received as believers. Let me hear from you. From the heart, Ray |
