Romans 8:1-4
Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[
] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in sinful man,[d] 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
"You are free to Go!" Imagine you are a convicted criminal sentenced to life in prison, or even death, and you are told "you are free to go." We, as a human are condemned to a life of sin, of judgement of the law. As the saying goes- "Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time," meaning be prepared to be punished if you break the law.
Here is the good news; Jesus did the time for us. Our debt has been paid. No longer does the law of the world have us in bondage. We are free to go!
Prayer- Lord, Thank you for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for our sinfull human nature. Help us live our lives according to Your Spirit. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen
