TITLE: THE LAW HAS LOST IT’S POWER OVER YOU
SCRIPTURE: Romans 6:14 (KJV). “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
NARRATION: Beloved, one truth you must know and settle in your heart as a child of God is that the moment you receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour, the law automatically loses power over your life. Now you have a different Master. The duty of the law is to reveal your sins and shortcomings. The law is good and holy, but it cannot help you live for God. The commandment doesn’t make you holy. It shows you your weaknesses and how you can never make it. The book of Romans 7:7 says: “………I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” (KJV).
But for the law, you wouldn’t have known sin. You would have just been living your life.
Now, because you could not keep the law, the law said you failed. So, the law, which was meant to bring life, brought spiritual death to you instead.
This happens so that you can reach the end of yourself and look for a Saviour. The law brings you to that point so that you can appreciate Jesus more.
God’s laws are righteous, but we know we can’t keep them. Now, that which is righteous and holy is killing people and condemning them to hell. So, how do we come out of it?
That was what Jesus did. He came and made us right with God, apart from the law. Romans 3:21-22 says “But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested…. even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe….” (KJV)
Sin is so powerful that it penetrated the presence of God. It will take only God to deliver you from sin. Until you understand that, you will never be free from sin or walk in liberty. Thank God for Jesus! He has delivered us from the law so we can walk in liberty. Therefore, the law has no control over you because of what Jesus did. Haleluyah!
FURTHER READING:
Romans 7:1-25 NKJV. Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? [2] For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. [3] So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. [4] Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another-to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. [5] For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. [6] But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. [7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet." [8] But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. [9] I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. [10] And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. [12] Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. [13] Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. [14] For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. [16] If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. [17] But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. [19] For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. [20] Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. [21] I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. [22] For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? [25] I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
