This week we will delve into what has been called the greatest
chapter in the Bible, Romans 8. When people ask about beginning to read the
Bible I send them first to the book of John to soak in the love of Christ and
after that, to the book of Romans, the clearest message of doctrine to the
church.
Romans 8 has such
beautiful words of comfort and hope for us, from living by the Spirit, to the
freedom and love we have in Christ. Read through the entire chapter when you
have time and read it slowly, taking in each valuable verse to add to your
deepening faith.
God’s perfect law
was impossible to keep because of our sin. Through the death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus, when we believe, we are covered by His blood and set
free from God’s judgment. The first two verses of Romans 8 remind us of that
free gift!
Therefore,
there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through
Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law
of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2
We are set free
through Christ. God sees us through the lens of the one perfect man. He sees us
as children of the Almighty God because of His Son. We no longer live under
condemnation and wrath. We are free! Let
the truth set you free today. We have the Spirit who gives us life.
Father,
We thank You for these powerful words. Jesus paid the price
for us and set us free. Let the freedom shine through us as we live by the
Spirit, moving more and more into the image of Christ.
In Jesus name,
Amen
