​ “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
​ hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
-- Romans 8:1-2​

I hope you have been enjoying this series as much as I have had writing it.

In the Law of the Mind, we discovered the unbelievable power and strength of the human will. We learned from the illustration of the man possessed with Legion, that he was able to overpower the multitude of demons that possessed him enough to run to Jesus and begin to worship Him.

This kind of power was (and is) remarkable, to say the least, and each and every one of us has this same kind of power today. However, even with all of this power of the human will, this man was not able to free himself from the pain and torment that possessed him all those years.

​It was not until Christ commanded the unclean spirits to come out of the man and ordered them into the swine that the man became free from his torment and was brought back into his "right mind" (Mark 5:15).

In our last lesson, we looked into the doctrine of humanity and the doctrine of sin, which is, essentially, what the Law of Sin and Death is really all about.

​In today’s study what I want to share with you is something that is even more powerful than the human will, and more exciting than anything you could ever imagine. I want to take this time and take you back to the beginning, back to when everything first went wrong, and then to the present day where Christ has offered us a way of escape from any torment, from any condemnation, and ultimately from eternal damnation.
​

The Law of Sin and Death is, essentially, the doctrine of sin. The question is: what is sin? Where did sin come from? Is there an end to sin, or will sin exist even in heaven or in eternal life?

In order to answer these questions and really establish a foundation for teaching the doctrine of sin, we must also look to the doctrine of humanity.

What you must understand is that the only thing that makes logical sense is that humanity must have a divine origin. It is the only way to explain the vast complexity of what makes us human beings -- who are infinitely more intricate and detailed than even the very universe we live in.

​I mentioned this in the first lesson within our series, but it merits worth mentioning again. It is important to understand that we are God’s highest form of creation (Consider reading Psalm 139:14).
