Read: Romans 8:1-11
The elephant is the largest land animal on earthand one of the most powerful. Yet it takes only a strong rope to restrain one. Heres how it works. When the elephant is young, he is tied to a large tree. For weeks, he will strain and pull, but the rope holds him fast. So eventually he gives up.
Then, when the elephant reaches his full size and strength, he wont struggle to get free, for once he feels resistance, he stops. He still believes hes held captive and cant break free.
Satan can play a similar trick on us to hold us captive. The Bible assures us that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Rom. 8:1). We have been set free from the law of sin and death (v.2). But the enemy of our soul tries to make us believe we are still dominated by sin.
What shall we do then? Reflect on what Christ has done. He died for our sins and declared an end to sins control over us (v.3). He rose from the dead and gave us the Holy Spirit. Now we are empowered to live victoriously in Him because the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in [us] (v.11).
In Christ, we are set free.
