I AM

I AM : M. M. Ninan
Rom 7:5 For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful
passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore
fruit for death.
Rom 7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body
of death?
(Evidently Paul refers to the death in the body and not of spirit)
1 Cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
3. CREATON ITSELF WILL BE LIBERATED:
Full implication of resurrection
It is this wholesome manhood that Jesus regained through his cross
and resurrection.
In Jesus we not only have the resurrection and redemption of our
bodies, he also obtained the redemption of the law of decay and
death on the material world.
Let me make this point clear.
Rom 8:19-25 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God
to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its
own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the
creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into
the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole
creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the
present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of
the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the
redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is
seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope
for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
