SET FREE BY A GREATER LAW

Why Birds Can Fly.
A bird can fly because it has a greater law working on its behalf to overcome the persistent nonstop, downward tug of the law of gravity. The force that can overcome the law of gravity is the law of aerodynamics. But if that bird  is wounded or weakened, the law of gravity will be stronger than the law of aerodynamics--and the miracle of flight will be temporarily or permanently ceased.

Why Believers Can Fly.
The Christian can both deny and defy sin because he or she has a greater law working on his or her behalf to overcome the tenacious, perpetual downward tug of what the Bible calls "the law of sin and death." The force that can overcome this law of sin and death is "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus." But if that believer is wounded or weakened in his or her faith, the law of sin and death will be stronger than the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus--and the miracle of new life can be temporarily or chronically disabled.

There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. --Romans 8:1-2
