The Law of the Spirit of Life in the Believer's Spirit

Let's Pray:

Lord, today You are the Spirit, the life-giving Spirit, and You have given us a regenerated spirit. These two spirits, Your Spirit and our spirit,are mingled as one spirit!

Hymn: 949

Today's Verses and Footnotes: Rom 7:1-25

Key Verse:

Rom 7:23 But I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and making me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

Filling the Blanks:

There are three different ( ) in the three different parts of the believer's being. As revealed in chs. 7 and 8, these three laws derive from the three parties in the universe. The law of sin and death in the believer's members, that is, in his ( ), derives from ( ), who as sin dwells in the believer's (flesh). The law of ( ) in the believer's mind (v. 23), that is, in his soul, derives from the natural ( ), that is, from man himself. The law of the Spirit of life in the believer's ( ) derives from ( ), who as the ( ) dwells in his spirit. These three parties with the three laws are now present in the believer. In addition to the three laws within the believer, there is the ( ) of ( ) outside of him. (See Rom 7:23 note 1)
