Our Heritage in Christ! Freedom! Romans 7 and 8

The reason why sin is more appealing to us is cos of the presence of Law. If there was no tree of knowledge of good and evil will man have fallen? No.

The presence of Law brings about bondage to sin. As long as d devil is present he magnifies sin, by increasing the desire for sin.

The reason why Jesus christ came is to abolish the law, and destroy sin and the power of sin, Having destroyed the power of sin, How can we benefit from Christ's Life, By Living a spirit filled life, God doesn't want us to focus on d law again because d law makes us to stumble. 

Christ is the new Garden. Now all we are asked to do is stay in the garden, there is no longer an occasion to stumble in this garden. 

In Christ there is no law, no stumbling, all we are asked to do is stay in christ. 

When we are in Christ the desire for sin dies. As paul said the righteous requirement of the law can only be met by those who walk after the spirit, cos the flesh has no power against sin, even determination fails against the flesh. The flesh magnifies sin.

Truly the flesh wants to live freely but the kinda freedom it desires is freedom to sin. 
Because in Christ the law/condemnation doesn't exist. And also fellowship with the spirit frees from the bondage of sin and death. 

Utmost care(attention) must be given to our fellowship In the spirit that's the only way the flesh would not have dominion, and then the weak flesh can also be made alive as of our spirit, this can only happen through progressive fellowship with the spirit. Romans 8:1-11. 

Building a strong spirit is one of the keys of fellowship. Thanksgiving, Praying in the spirit, fellowship with one another, and also fellowship with the word. 
When we invest in spiritual things the holy spirit has free access to speak to us and we to him.
