*SIN-FREE AND DEATH-FREE*

_There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death_ *(Romans 8:1-2)*

The Christian life is one of absolute liberty in Christ. The moment you were born again, you were brought into a new realm of existence with dominion over sin and death. This is what the Apostle Paul unveils in Romans 8:1-2.

Notice the distinction: The one who's in Christ no longer walks according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Why? The answer is in the second verse: a new law is now at work in him--- *"the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus."* The law has made you free from death, and the law of sin.

The expression *"made me free"* as used by the Apostle Paul is deeper than merely being delivered from something. It carries the thought of separation; complete separation from the dominion and influence of sin and from death. It literally means you're sin-free and death-free.

This is a vital truth every Christian must understand. Many still think of themselves as vulnerable to the same limitations, fears, corruption, and death that dominate the natural man. But the Word says otherwise. You've been brought into righteousness, into the realm of life and immortality through the Gospel.

2 Timothy 1:9-10 tells us the Lord Jesus has *"...saved us, and called us with an holy calling...abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."* The life in you now is the resurrection life of Christ. It's superior to sin, darkness, sickness, fear, failure, and death.

This is why you should never think, talk, or act like one under the bondage of sin or of death. The God-life in you has intrinsic attributes---sinlessnes and deathlessness! Walk in this consciousness. Refuse to accommodate guilt, defeat, condemnation, or death in any form. You belong to another realm: the sin-free and death-free zone. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, thank you for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that has made me sin-free and death-free. I walk in the consciousness of eternal life, victory, dominion, and righteousness. Fear, condemnation, sickness and death have no place in me, in Jesus' Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Romans 8:1-2 AMPC* Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. *2* For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and death.

*John 5:24* Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.

*1 John 3:14* We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
