Romans 8:1-11

Romans 8:1-11 FBV

So there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. What the law couldn't do because it was powerless due to our sinful nature, God was able to do! By sending his own Son in human form, God dealt with the whole problem of sin and destroyed sin's power in our sinful human nature. In this way we could fulfill the good requirements of the law by following the Spirit and not our sinful nature. Those who follow their sinful nature are preoccupied with sinful things, but those who follow the Spirit concentrate on spiritual things. The sinful human mind results in death, but having the mind led by the Spirit results in life and peace. The sinful human mind is hostile to God because it refuses to obey the law of God—in fact it never can, and those who follow their sinful nature can never please God. But you're not following your sinful nature, but the Spirit—if it's true that the Spirit of God is living in you. For those that don't have the Spirit of Christ in them don't belong to him. However, if Christ is in you, even though your body is going to die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you're now right with God. The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. He who raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to your dead bodies through his Spirit that lives in you.
