No Condemnation – Rom 8:1-3
Vs 1 – Paul says that because
Christ has delivered us from death unto life there is now no condemnation for
those who are in Christ Jesus. The
operative word here is making sure you are in Christ Jesus. You know you belong to Him. Then you will no longer want to walk
according to the flesh with its images or standards. You want to walk according to the Spirit with
His gifts and fruit.
Vs 2 – The law of the Spirit
of life in Christ has made us free from the law of sin and death. There is a powerful contrast between life and
freedom in Christ and the law which brought sin and death.
Vs 3 – The law could not free
mankind from sin and death but God sent His Son Jesus Christ in the form of
sinful flesh. Jesus was like us in all
ways yet without sin. His death
condemned sin in any form because He died in the flesh that sin would be done
away with.
