Summary
We couldn't fulfill the righteousness of the Law without Jesus paying the price for our sins. Because of Jesus living in us, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit guiding and directing our lives, we are able to fulfill the righteousness of the Law. Multiplied grace and peace are released into our lives as we behold the image of Jesus found in the Word of God.
_______________________________________
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Through Him, the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled in us (Romans 8:1-6).
In Christ, when you miss the mark it should not bring you under condemnation.
Guilt is an emotional response to condemnation.
The only way you can escape the effects of sin is through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you keep the power of the Holy Spirit running in your life, you will continue to stay above the law of sin and death.
The temptation to sin will always be there, but you can override those temptations by walking in the Spirit.
People who constantly stay in the Word of God are going to stay on top of fear, lack, sickness, negative emotions, etc.
You stay on top of the issues in your life by staying in the Word of God.
The Law was not weak, but our weak and sinful flesh made the Law impossible to keep; it could not produce anything good because our flesh couldn’t keep it.
Jesus came on the scene and exchanged our unrighteousness for His righteousness through His sacrifice on the cross. All we must do is believe on Him to receive His righteousness.
We are made righteous by faith, not self-effort and good works.
Carnality is man’s effort to be successful without the Holy Spirit.
What Jesus did for us enabled us to fulfill the righteousness of the Law perfectly in two ways:
By being born again
By making a decision to live through the power of the Holy Spirit
Multiplied grace and peace are released in your life (2 Peter 1:2).
We are transformed into the image of Christ as we behold Him (2 Corinthians 3:17, 18).
We are to manifest what we already possess through Jesus Christ in us.
The “glass” we are beholding is the Word of God. As we behold the Word of God, we behold Jesus, and are changed into His image.
