SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2).
Rhapsody of Realities 2 April 2026 Devotional MESSAGE
Many have struggled with the underlined expression in our opening scripture as though “the law of sin and death” is one combined law. But in the context of Romans 7 and 8, death itself is not a law. There’s the law of sin, and there’s death as a consequence. The actual rendering is: “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made you free from the law of sin, and from death.”
In chapter 7, Paul emphasises the law of sin that was at work in him before Christ, and he also speaks of death separately. When he comes into chapter 8, verse 2, he shows that the superior law—the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus—has liberated you from both the law of sin and from death.
You no longer live under the principles of this world that govern those who are outside Christ, who are subject to death, decadence and corruption. You live by the law of life. This is why you must refuse to harbour the fear of death. The life of God in you is not subject to death. You have passed from death unto life (John 5:24).
Refuse the language, thoughts and expectations of those who are still under the fear of death. Declare boldly that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is working in every fibre of your being, in every cell of your blood, in every bone of your body. Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This law is at work in me, energising my body, renewing my mind, and propelling me in the path of righteousness and glory. I am free from the law of sin and from death; I walk in life, health, victory and dominion every day. I refuse fear, and I live boldly in the reality of your finished work in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
