Understanding the Sin-principle.

It’s pertinent to understand what sin is and what Jesus did concerning it, if we would function in the victory that Jesus wrought for us. To understand this, we have to be acquainted with the Sin-Principle. Many people are acquainted with sin as an act, but the reality is , Sin is first a principle before an act. Romans 8:2, ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death’. The Law of Sin and death; the Principle of sin, and its resultant consequences.
The Sin-principle is the domineering work of sin in man’s life as a result of being a progeny of Adam- Romans 5:18. The Law of Moses was the operational medium upon which exercised its destructive works in man’s life- Romans 7:4. By being born into this world, Man partook of sin and was sold to sin, helplessly- Romans 7:14. Therefore, no matter the good a man born of Adam did, he was still a sinner, because he was born of Adam. The law didn’t help, for by the law is the knowledge of sin- Romans 3:20. It’s that principle Paul talked about when he exclaimed, ‘The things I don’t want to do, I find myself doing…It’s sin that worketh in my members’- Romans 7:14-21. No matter how man tried, he could help himself! What a pitiable condition!

Enter the Law of the Spirit!

Romans 8:2-3, ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:’ The One who is in Christ, has been made free from the treacherous operation of sin! Jesus DEFEATED sin, rendered it helpless, broke its power; the law- 1 Corinthians 15:56, Romans 10:4! At this point, I’d like us to know that the Law of the Spirit is the Dispensation of Grace. Romans 6:14, ‘For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.’ The Dispensation of Grace, the
Operation of Grace has freed us from the dominion of sin. Our Chief part in this lovely phenomenon is to ‘Reckon’ ourselves ‘dead to sin’. When you do this, you come before the
mirror of God and observe these as your realities; you become in experience what God as accomplished in your Spirit! We are
righteous! We are Holy and unblamable! Believe it and act that way! #NewCreation #Pleroma
