Consider the birds. If you could ask them whether they were not afraid of the law of gravity, how would they reply? They would say: "We never heard the name of Newton. We know nothing about his law. We fly because it is the law of our life to fly." Not only is there in them a life with the power of flight, but that life has a law which enables these living creatures quite spontaneously to overcome the law of gravity. Yet gravity remains. If you get up early one morning when the cold is intense and the snow thick on the ground, and there is a dead sparrow in the courtyard, you are reminded at once of the persistence of that law. But while birds live they overcome it, and the life within them is what dominates their consciousness. Yes, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death!
