Freedom - our declaration of Independence - Romans 8

Jesus loved us enough to die for us, the Holy Spirit loves us enough to live in us!  Through the Holy Spirit we now have our freedom from our flesh and the law.  We are free!  Romans 8 is our declaration of freedom, "There is therefore, now no condemnation to those who walk in the Spirit.." (Rom. 8)  We are no longer obligated to the flesh, we are no longer condemned by the law.  A new principle has taken over our lives, it is called the "law of the Spirit of liberty in Christ Jesus who has overcome the law of sin and death".  Once we know that our flesh has been crucified (identification) and the law has been satisfied (by the obedience of Christ), we are free!  Now we are clothed in His righteousness alone and we walk by faith in the Spirit daily yielding to the Holy Spirit's control.  Little wonder the apostle Paul declared in Romans 8, "Who can separate us from the Love of Christ." His logical argument is, "If Christ already died for us, shall the Father, through Christ also not provide us freely all things?" Since the flesh is to weak to overcome itself, one greater has sat down at the right hand of the Father and we say, "I am more than a conqueror through Him who loved me and gave Himself for me."  Now we have confidence, not condemnation.  Now Satan cannot accuse us any longer. He has been defeated by the blood of the Lamb and our word of testimony.. "Satan you are a looser and have lost your power over me". Make your declaration of independence this day. "We the people of the kingdom of God, in order to form a more perfect union with Christ and each other, herein declare this day that the blood of Jesus Christ has united us under the King of kings and with His own blood he has formed this union. As one body we bow to His rightful authority which he holds through original creation and redemption. Because of this one Man's obedience to fulfill the law by His life, death and resurrection has provided us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We declare therefore, that we are no longer under the tyranny of the flesh and law of bondage."    We are now free!
