The lesson of Romans 7 verse 1 are the two knowings.
‘Know' ye not, how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives
I speak to them that ‘know' the law.
For the correct appreciation and balanced understanding of the law of dominion, we must review truth evident and present in the body of Adam. The origin of Adam's body was formed, fashioned and shaped from the dust of the earth and filled with preordained intentions, which God, according to His infinite wisdom designated in His design. When God specifies and appoints events and proceedings, they are never subject to cancellation, annulment or invalidation.
Adam's body was pre-fashioned and pre-patterned with properties of divine wisdom after a preordained and predetermined purpose. As mortals living and breathing after the soul's breath, we are opposed to any language which would insinuate, allude or suggest that our existence is and has already been determined according to certain immutable rules and regulations. No option of escape was ever given to the inherency of our nature.
Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." What was formed into the body of Adam was the Lordship of God, because it states, ‘the Lord God formed.'
Adam's body was constructed and assembled with characteristics, compositions, qualities and capacities which would correspondingly coincide in harmony with the soul. Adam's body was composed of standards, guidelines, patterns, types and shadows. Adam's body would have the appearance of God's draftsmanship, but not the very image. The Adamic image was formed and framed after and according to God's Law of subjection. Adam was the perfect prototype, and his blueprint of spiritual arrangement would become the model and pattern that would be inherently inborn in all humans. What would be the existing inseparable elements, qualities and attributes of Adam's body of which all humanity would partake? These are questions which we shall answer.
"The law has dominion over a man as long as he lives." Adam's body was composed by the dominion of God, meaning every facet of his being was subordinate to the image breathed into his body. 'Subjection without choice' isn't acceptable to believers and without this true established and fixed into the body as a living necessity the believer will continue as a living soul bound by the influence and compulsions of the world or the old man's nature.
The foundation of God's law of dominion has many elements of truth incorporated into it. This foundation of God's law of dominion was instituted and built into the Adamic design. Mankind isn't enlightened to God's mysteries because the soul or natural capacity isn't equipped with abilities to comprehend the Spiritual Mind. Adam was equipped with the capacity and aptitude to function and exist in this world. Never was Adam intended to live in the Garden. The Garden belongs to the redeemed and reconciled ones. Many, through the door of knowledge, have entered unauthored into the Garden. To declare that the soul has the ability to reenter the Garden is to maintain that Redemption doesn't exist. The body and soul were created in the Garden with the signature of redemption and reconciliation notarized, stamped and sealed into it with purpose. Then, once Garden predeterminations were accomplished, the Design was launched into the earth to begin its propagating assignments.
The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil would exit the Garden in the body of Adam to also begin its framed and fashioned design. The soul saturated with God's compositional image and likeness would exit the Garden along with the animal skin touched by the imprints and patterns of God's configurations. A whole being commissioned, sanctioned, delegated and authored by God within the boundaries and limitations of blueprint was thus sent on its designated mission.
Disseminating the seed properties of the body, soul, tree, and animal skin would actuate, mobilize and galvanize into materialization through the transference of the seed of man into the womb of woman producing the image and likeness of God's creation.
"I speak to them which know the law."
The law of Moses is, for most, the law which enters into their understanding whenever they hear or read the word 'law' in the Bible. The law of God given to Moses in the Mount was truly a law given by God with certain intentions only known to Himself. There are numerous laws given by God in the Old Covenant and each one has representations of purpose and intent. I shall speak about a different law, the 'Law of Beginning' connected to the origin of creation.
The living soul was assuredly formed and shaped from the dust of the earth, but also involved in that forming and shaping was God's designed principles and standards. These precepts and axioms of nature were infused and instilled into the body of Adam. Adam was inundated with subjection as the primary factor of his being and this truth would be hidden and veiled in the garments of flesh and ostensibly translated as choice and freewill. This knowing is without discontinuation and is incapable of being modified or altered because its initial beginning was ordered and joined to the will of God's law. Rudimentary sampling of truth in its basic form is called 'knowledge' with which all believers are imprinted. Knowledge is vital in its participation with other provisions (spiritual wisdom, spiritual understanding and spiritual revelation) of God's patterns for attainment to actualization. Why is it imperative that we are apprehended with the knowledge of God 's law of design or law of subjection? After the law of subjection has been executed as truth in the body, the law of liberty begins its transacting exchange which is the work of reconciliation.
