3. The Law of the spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, sets them free from the law of sin and death: it frees them, it carries them out to all obedience freely. So that they walk after the Spirit, v. 1. that being the Principle of their workings, G. 2. 20. Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, is by the faith of the Son of God: the life which I now live in the flesh, that is the obedience which I yield unto God, whilst I am in the flesh, it is from a Principle of life, Christ living in me: There is then power for all living unto God, from Christ in them, the spirit of life, from Christ carrying them out thereto.
