For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 (NKJV)

I was pondering this scripture the other day and got to thinking about all the differences between the law of the Spirit of life and the law of sin and death. Here’s what I came up with.
