Romans 8:2 tells us that “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death,” but what exactly is that “spirit of life,” and why is it “in Christ Jesus”? This study takes a closer look. Starting with Adam, who received “breath-life” from God, and moving to Jesus, “the last Adam,” who was raised with a new kind of life, we trace how Scripture describes the risen Christ’s real but transformed body, the spirit-gift he now gives to those who believe on him, and the promise of a law written on the heart. Along the way, we look at what it means to “walk by the spirit” today and at the change every believer can look forward to. Spirit of Life—A Closer Look
