Freedom

Romans 8:2

For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Ask others what it means to be free and get ready to hear a number of issues that are personal to each person. What we hear from others will probably not include swapping one law for another.

There are natural laws, political laws, religious laws and then there is the law of the Spirit.

This Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity. The Spirit enacts the will of the Father and testifies only of Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit is restricted to how the Spirit acts. Think of Him as the jailer who has the keys to life and has set us free from the legal restrictions of sin.

Sin is a natural law and everyone is subject to those laws just like we are subject to the law of gravity. We as humans have no influence over natural laws. Only God can violate the laws of nature.

Key to the issues of what the Holy Spirit will do in accordance with the will of God to violate the law of sin is only found for those of us who are in Christ Jesus. If we are going to violate the law of gravity we will need a vehicle like an airplane that produces lift.

Isaiah 40:31

but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Here is another interesting parable about eagles. A read worthy of study.

Ezekiel 17:1

Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine

This connects the eagles to the vine and we have the freedom to explore those connections.
