The Birth of a New Consciousness

by Sylvia Pearce

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

(Romans 8:1)

How can words express the glory that filled Paul’s heart as his spirit leaped in agreement with the Spirit of Life that was in him? The Spirit of Christ had set him free from the downward pulls of the law of sin and death which held him in bondage in his flesh.  Paul ends Romans Seven shouting his freedom cry, “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.  So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin”( Rom. 7:25).
