Romans 7, Part 5: From Law To Christ
From Law To Christ
By Tammy Lacock
“Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?” (Romans 7:1, KJV)
Warren Litzman reiterates the Apostle Paul’s gospel is Romans 7:1, that those who are still living a Satan life have no life of their own and are bound by the law. However, those that believe that Christ suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead are no longer bound by the law. They are new creations who are now living in Christ. The Satan nature was replaced by Christ’s perfect nature. Their old Satan lives died, too, with Christ and arose to a whole new life in Him. The law has no life. There is no other life other than Christ. Christ fulfilled the law at the cross. As believers, we are finally freed from the law and our Satan lives.
There is nothing we can do to be saved. We are saved by what Christ did on the cross. As born again believers in Christ, we went from being bound by the law to a new life in Him. By Christ’s death and resurrection, we are now bona fide children of God!
The Apostle Paul is the Father of Christianity.
Warren’s mission here is to share Paul’s message of Christianity and the true meaning of a being a Christian. A Christian is a spiritual being, a Christ person, one who now has Christ living in them as their new life.
As Christians, we are born again. We have died to the law and are rebirthed in Christ.
The Father of Christianity states this message of Christ in us so wonderfully in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
With the trials and tribulations of this world, and especially in an increasingly blatantly evil world, only born-again Christians with Christ as their new Life will survive it. Indeed, in the end, we will be taken up out of this world to live in our Heavenly Father’s house.
May the Holy Spirit open the minds and hearts of those who do not believe so that they, too, can overcome this world with Christ as their new Life and enter God’s Heavenly Kingdom.
