SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

SPIRIT IS LIFE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS 

John 1:17 

FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN BY MOSES, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST.

THE LAW 

Deuteronomy 5:6-21 

I Am The Lord Thy God, Which Brought Thee Out Of The Land Of Egypt, From The House Of Bondage. Thou Shalt Have None Other Gods Before Me. Thou Shalt Not Make Thee Any Graven Image, Or Any Likeness Of Any Thing That Is In Heaven Above, Or That Is In The Earth Beneath, Or That Is In The Waters Beneath The Earth: Thou Shalt Not Bow Down Thyself Unto Them, Nor Serve Them: For I The Lord Thy God Am A Jealous God, Visiting The Iniquity Of The Fathers Upon The Children Unto The Third And Fourth Generation Of Them That Hate Me, And Shewing Mercy Unto Thousands Of Them That Love Me And Keep My Commandments. Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The Lord Thy God In Vain: For The Lord Will Not Hold Him Guiltless That Taketh His Name In Vain. Keep The Sabbath Day To Sanctify It, As The Lord Thy God Hath Commanded Thee. Six Days Thou Shalt Labour, And Do All Thy Work: But The Seventh Day Is The Sabbath Of The Lord Thy God: In It Thou Shalt Not Do Any Work, Thou, Nor Thy Son, Nor Thy Daughter, Nor Thy Manservant, Nor Thy Maidservant, Nor Thine Ox, Nor Thine Ass, Nor Any Of Thy Cattle, Nor Thy Stranger That Is Within Thy Gates; That Thy Manservant And Thy Maidservant May Rest As Well As Thou. And Remember That Thou Wast A Servant In The Land Of Egypt, And That The Lord Thy God Brought Thee Out Thence Through A Mighty Hand And By A Stretched Out Arm: Therefore The Lord Thy God Commanded Thee To Keep The Sabbath Day. Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother, As The Lord Thy God Hath Commanded Thee; That Thy Days May Be Prolonged, And That It May Go Well With Thee, In The Land Which The Lord Thy God Giveth Thee. Thou Shalt Not Kill. Neither Shalt Thou Commit Adultery. Neither Shalt Thou Steal. Neither Shalt Thou Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour. Neither Shalt Thou Desire Thy Neighbour's Wife, Neither Shalt Thou Covet Thy Neighbour's House, His Field, Or His Manservant, Or His Maidservant, His Ox, Or His Ass, Or Any Thing That Is Thy Neighbour's.

GRACE AND TRUTH 

John 8:32 

And Ye Shall Know The Truth, And The Truth Shall Make You Free.

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

Matthew 5:17 

Think Not That I Am Come To Destroy The Law, Or The Prophets: I Am Not Come To Destroy, But To Fulfil.

Galatians 4:4-7 

But When The Fulness Of The Time Was Come, God Sent Forth His Son, Made Of A Woman, Made Under The Law, To Redeem Them That Were Under The Law, That We Might Receive The Adoption Of Sons. And Because Ye Are Sons, God Hath Sent Forth The Spirit Of His Son Into Your Hearts, Crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore Thou Art No More A Servant, But A Son; And If A Son, Then An Heir Of God Through Christ.

Romans 5:18 

Therefore As By The Offence Of One Judgment Came Upon All Men To Condemnation; Even So By The Righteousness Of One The Free Gift Came Upon All Men Unto Justification Of Life.

John 8:34-36 

Jesus Answered Them, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto You, Whosoever Committeth Sin Is The Servant Of Sin. And The Servant Abideth Not In The House For Ever: But The Son Abideth Ever. If The Son Therefore Shall Make You Free, Ye Shall Be Free Indeed.

Romans 8:2-4 

For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit.

Galatians 3:24-26 

Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:1-11 

What Shall We Say Then? Shall We Continue In Sin, That Grace May Abound? God Forbid. How Shall We, That Are Dead To Sin, Live Any Longer Therein? Know Ye Not, That So Many Of Us As Were Baptized Into Jesus Christ Were Baptized Into His Death? Therefore We Are Buried With Him By Baptism Into Death: That Like As Christ Was Raised Up From The Dead By The Glory Of The Father, Even So We Also Should Walk In Newness Of Life. For If We Have Been Planted Together In The Likeness Of His Death, We Shall Be Also In The Likeness Of His Resurrection: Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

1 Peter 4:1 

Forasmuch Then As Christ Hath Suffered For Us In The Flesh, Arm Yourselves Likewise With The Same Mind: For He That Hath Suffered In The Flesh Hath Ceased From Sin;

Romans 8:9-10 

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness.
