Therefore,
there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because
through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free
from the law of sin and death. For what the law was
powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he
condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous
requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to
the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4
The law says this—obey it precisely or you will die. One sin breaks the law and condemns us to
death, meaning the price that must be paid for breaking the law. Jesus died for us and paid that penalty. Now the law has been satisfied through the
one person who never broke the law on earth.
We’ve been set free from death because the price was paid.
Now the law is still a good guide for us to follow
because it describes righteous behavior, but Jesus freed us from the
consequences of breaking the law, past-present-future.
