When you stand beside a 747 jet on the runway, its massive weight and size makes it seem incapable of breaking the holds of gravity.

But when the power of its engines combines with the laws of aerodynamics, the plane is able to lift itself to 35,000 feet and travel at 600 miles per hour. Gravity is still pulling on the plane, but as long as it obeys the laws of aerodynamics, it can break free from the bonds of earth.

"Through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death" (Romans 8:2).
