For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. — Rom 8:2 BSB

There is a natural law of sin and sickness, and if we simply let ourselves drift along, we will sink under the weight of temptation and circumstances. But there is another law—the law of spiritual and physical life in Christ Jesus—that lifts us above and counteracts the pull of sin and death. To live by this higher law, however, requires spiritual energy, a firm resolve, and a constant posture of faith.

It’s like the power in a factory: you must connect the machinery to the power source and keep it connected. The power is always there, but the machinery will only run if the connection is maintained. Similarly, there is a spiritual law of choosing, believing, abiding, and holding steady in our walk with God, which is essential for the Holy Spirit to work in our sanctification and healing.

There is a word that saves the soul:
I will trust.
It makes the sick and suffering whole:
I will trust.
