Introduction

• Recently we looked at how a wretched man of sin
  (thats everyone who ever lived) could be freed
  from the bondage of sin.

  through Christ Jesus our Savior. Rom. 724-25
• Far from bondage there is no condemnation to
  those who are in Christ Jesus. Rom. 81

Introduction

• Does that mean Christians have the liberty to go
  about sinning? No! Cp. Rom. 61
• No, a person who loves the Lord will desire to be
  lead by Him.
• And, to those who walk in His Spirit should
  they sin (and naturally would repent) have no
  condemnation.

No Condemnation To those In Christ

• Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
  rules in/over our lives. Rom. 82
• He (the Spirit of life in Christ) has set us free
  from the law of sin and death.
• The Law could only condemn and convict us of our
  sins not save us from them. Cp. 1 Cor. 1545

No Condemnation To those In Christ

• That is why while it (the law) couldnt save He
  (God) could and did! Rom. 83
• Our Savior took on the likeness of sinful flesh,
  otherwise He could not have been one of us. Cp.
  Jn. 114 Phil. 27
• Gods eternal purpose (Eph. 311) was to send His
  Son (Jn. 316) condemn sin in the flesh.

  rendered powerless. Heb. 214

  requirements of sin is meted accordingly. Phil.
  25-9

Those Who Set Their Minds

• On the flesh live accordingly.

  heavenly Father. Cp. Jas. 44

  death. Gal. 519-21

  Spirit includes. Matt. 2238-39
• This is exemplified through the fruit born of the
  Spirit. Cp. Gal. 522-25
• There is no law to which a person who lives
  accordingly is condemned.
