“A man in a rebel army may look after his comrades, may keep his uniform smart, and so on. Those are ‘good’—but they are done in hostility to the rightful ruler. You would never expect that ruler to hear of this rebel’s conscientiousness or generosity and be pleased by his conduct in rebellion!”
– Tim Keller, Romans For You
– Tim Keller, Romans For You
3. There is LIFE in the HOME of Christ and the Spirit!
Brother or sister, you are the HOME of Christ and the Spirit!

“…you have the Spirit of Christ…” (8:9b)
“…Christ is in you…” (8:10a)
“…you have the Spirit of Christ…” (8:9b)
“…Christ is in you…” (8:10a)
“The Spirit is equally the Spirit of God the Father and the Spirit of God the Son, Jesus Christ. And the Spirit communicates so much of Christ that it is fitting to say Christ Himself is present in you.”

We are not “in the flesh” but “in the Spirit” (8:9a)
