This law of sin can only be suppressed by the daily help of the Spirit of Jesus
Christ as
the Apostle Paul made known:
“O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I
thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord (
meaning that He will deliver us,
Ephesians 2:1-10
) So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but
with the flesh (
human nature—it turns out to be the law of sin, verse 5
) the law of
sin” (Romans 7:24-25).
The thought continues with clarity:
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,
who do NOT walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the
law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from the law of
sin and death” (Romans 8:1-2).
And by ruling over our minds with the needed daily help from God, each one can look
forward to the time when there will be no longer be any limitations of the mind or of
having human nature with which we now have to contend in this human life.
This can only take place after each one has been born again into God’s Spirit Family, as
made known in the following writing.
TOMORROW. . . WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE
,
Compare with Today’s
Politicians, Pages 72-73, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong:
“And now – finally. Consider!
Take
outstanding,
superior
men,
having
undergone a human lifetime of this attitude, this
training in the ways of success and perfection. But
now change these men by a resurrection into the
perfection of immortality.
And consider that immortality will
multiply their aptitudes, abilities and
powers, perhaps a million times above
what they achieved as humans, by infusing into them the power and glory
of God.
[Emphasis mine]
This is what God is going to do.”
