And therefore labour to be engrafted into Christ by faith, and that we may know it by the Spirit of Christ prevailing in us over our natural Corruptions more and more. As the Apostle saith, There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ; for the spirit of life, the Law of the Spirit of life which is in Christ, hath freed me from the Law of sin and death, the condemning law of sin. If the Law of the spirit of life which is in Christ the head be in us in any measure, it frees us from the condemning law of sin, that it carrieth us not whither it would; then we may say with comfort, There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ; for the law of the spirit of life in Christ, hath freed us from the condemning, tyrannizing law of sin and death.
