Superseding

I am excited about learning. I have heard it said that leaders are learners. i agree with that statement. I believe everyone should be willing to continue learning in their journey through life. However, that is not always the case. Generally speaking we reach a point in life where we are set in our views and ways and we do not want anymore change in life. It might be termed atrophpy of the brain. It is a state where we refuse to learn anymore or grow in an area of our lives. That happens often with spiritual things but here is something to consider.

In life we all learned that the Law of gravity. In it's very basic form for today's discussion, lets just say that gravity says whatever goes up must come down. That is the force that keeps up on planet earth without floating away in space. Astronuts deal with weightless issues when they leave the pull of the earths gravity. The quesion is how did they defy gravity since we are all subject to gravity here on earth. The answer is the law of lift. You push an airfoil fast enough it will have lift and leave the ground. That is how the Wright brothers discovered the ability to fly. They simply beat gravity wth the law of lift. When men said "if man was meant to fly he would have wings," the Wright brother's believed that man could fly with the right application of physics. When you now consider what their discovery has meant to humanity it becomes mind boggling. You can get on a 747 with four hundred other people and have the law of lift supersede the law of gravity and you can land in another county in just a matter of hours. It is amazing. So one law can supersede another law, yet the law that is superseded is still present. Gravity does not go away just because it is superseded. The law of lift is a greater law that overcomes the law of gravity.

With that in mind lets consider the law of sin and death. This s a law that is present in the earth today. This law in it's basic form says if you sin you get death. You cannot seperate these two forces from each other. That is what is said in scripture. Sin brings death with it and death always has sin attached. It's the effects of the curse that has been put upon mankind because of the sin of Adam and Eve in the beginning. Now man has to deal with sin, death and it's effects. That is why there is so much missery in the earth today. It is cause by the law of sin and death. Yet we find something interesting in Romans chapter 8. God knew that man could not overcome sin so he sent Jesus to die for us and to take our place in death so we could have life. Thus we find a new law that supercedes the Law of sin and death and it is called the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.

Now here is what you need to know. Jesus died for us and in so doing He gave us life. That law is called the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus and it gives you lift over the law of sin and death. Sin and death are still operating in the earth but when you have life in Christ Jesus you are living above sin and death. You negate it's hold on you in life and you begin to reign in life which by the way is what God desires for everyone. What a great new concept to begin to learn and apply in your life. It is a change that is a change for good. Do not let it go or refuse to change what you believe and continue in sin and death. Let's get on board the Law that overcomes sin and death and enjoy life to the fullest! Supercede what course you are cuurently on with sin and death and realize that God wants you to have the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus to the maximum. So let's live life God's way.
