In this study, the existence of THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST is established by the Scriptures presented here. The Spirit of Life is the anointing that cannot be attained without the servant of God "STRIVING LAWFULLY" in love of neighbor as himself. A servant of the Lord must attain to that performance of perfection pleasing to the Lord to be crowned while remaining "UNDEFILED." More will be said as the studies progress of what the laws of the Spirit are, to enter into the anointing.

STRIVE LAWFULLY:	COMMENTS
"PEACE BE UNTO YOU: AS MY FATHER HAS SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU." (St. John 20:21)	The Son of God came to fulfill THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT, (Romans 8:2) not to do away with it. (Ref. St. Matthew 5:l7) Religious Jews were trying to fulfill the law in their own power. The Church in America has outdone them. The law of the Spirit has been thrown out altogether. It is common for Christians to transgress the ten commandments as though THE LAW WRITTEN IN STONE by the finger of God did not matter? The Church in America has been told Christ did their suffering on the cross. He went to the cross as our suffering sacrifice, but those who take up the cross of obedience will do their own suffering. Christ still sends disciples in the Spirit as the Father sent him. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever. The Apostle Peter advises them to arm themselves with the mind of Christ to suffer in the flesh. (l Peter 4:l)
"AND IF A MAN ALSO STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, YET IS HE NOT CROWNED, EXCEPT HE STRIVE LAWFULLY." (2 timothy 2:5)	THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT (Romans 8:2) is not obvious in holy Scripture. "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing." (Proverbs 25:2) He who STRIVES LAWFULLY offers up the sacrifice of PRAISE CONTINUALLY by the Spirit of Christ. (Hebrews l3:l5) He PRAYs WITHOUT CEASING. (l Thessalonians 5:l7) He "PRESSes TOWARD THE MARK for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:l4) He HUNGERs AND THIRSTs after righteousness that he might be filled. (St. Matthew 5;6) The joy of the Lord is his strength, so the living sacrifice JOYs AS HE GOES to abide in the strength of the anointing. "You will show me the path of Life: in your Presence is FULNESS OF JOY:" (Psalm l6:ll) The living sacrifice CASTs DOWN EVERY IMAGINATION. He BRINGs EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY TO CHRIST. (2 Corinthians lO:5) He WALKs UPRIGHT. "Unto the upright, there arises Light in the darkness." (Psalm ll2:4) He focuses in singleness of eye for his body to be FULL OF LIGHT. (St. Matthew 6:22) He follows the quickening of the Spirit within his mortal body by faith. (Romans 8:ll) He does not follow after what he sees in the visible world, but what he sees the Father do in the invisible kingdom within. (St. John 5:l9, 8:30) He who STRIVES LAWFULLY is "not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,..." (l Corinthians 9:21) The living sacrifice learns how to BE STILL and not move unless he is moved by God. "Be still and know that I am God:" (Psalm 46:lO) These is all basic to walking in the law of the Lord.
"BLESSED ARE THE UNDEFILED IN THE WAY WHO WALK IN THE LAW OF THE LORD." (Psalm ll9:l/3)	"The letter kills, but the Spirit saves." (2 Corinthians 3:6) False religions like the Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses have the word without the Spirit. Attending to the rituals of legalism will not bring the power of God. Natural man cannot fulfill the law by his own strength. Once the devout are approved of God to enter into full time service to God with the keys of the kingdom to enter into the divine door of Christ into his anointing, they are enabled to fulfill the law of the Lord by his power. But woe to the man who takes liberties to defile the flesh, for the anointing with Jesus Christ present in the temple of a man is a kingdom where Light has been turned on; and the Spirit of the Lord will be grieved within when he sees his temple is defiled, and the man will suffer grief in the Lord's grief, therefore grieve not the holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30) or you will suffer for defiling your flesh when you could have enjoyed the Lord's heavenly Presence and labored in his Perfection. So the Lord's anointed wrote: "I was also upright before him and kept myself from my iniquity." (Psalm l8:23)

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." (Romans 8:l/2) CAUTION: Other versions do not all have the full text. In the anointing, the living sacrifice STRIVING LAWFULLY is made free from the law of sin and death in the sinless state of the anointing as long as he can abide in the divine Spirit of Jesus Christ. The Christian experiences "pangs" of conscience after they willfully sin, but for those living sacrifices who have defiled their flesh in one way or another; condemnation is greatly amplified when THE PERSON OF CHRIST is present in them. He hates sin. The living sacrifice should have repented of it before laboring to enter into the anointing. The Lord wants the temple of flesh clean. If the living sacrifice desires to remain with his Lord, repentance is needed to clear up the matter. "Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." (Galatians 5:l6)

"IF YOU FULFILL THE ROYAL LAW ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF, YOU DO WELL: BUT IF YOU HAVE RESPECT OF PERSONS, YOU COMMIT SIN, AND ARE CONVINCED OF THE LAW AS TRANSGRESSORS. FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL KEEP THE WHOLE LAW, AND YET OFFEND IN ONE POINT, HE IS GUILTY OF ALL."(St. James 2:8) One of the easiest sins by which a living sacrifice defiles himself, is respecting persons for their wealth, rank, fame, good looks and it is also respecting persons if you fear the murderer who comes to kill. The Prophet Joshua was told: "Only be strong and VERY COURAGEOUS that YOU MAY OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THE LAW,..."(Joshua l:7) A man cannot stay in the anointing without fearlessness which is provided for by the Lord when a living sacrifice is fully in the Spirit.

"SO SHALL I KEEP YOUR LAW CONTINUALLY FOREVER AND FOREVER." (Psalm ll9:44/45) "But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." (St. James l:25) Once a disciple is given the power of the anointing (St. Luke 9:l), that anointing teaches him "all things." (l John 2:27) There is much to put into action. Hard things to do. Holy habits the Spirit reveals which are new to the disciple's mind. Do them as the Spirit reveals them that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in you who are called into sainthood. (Ref. Romans 8:4) "We know that the law is good, if any man uses it lawfully." (l Timothy l:8)
