Romans 8:1
The Privileges of the Children of God
SUMMARY OF ROMANS 8: No Condemnation to Those in Christ. Walking After
the Spirit. To Be Carnally Minded, Death. To Be Spiritually Minded,
Life and Peace. The Spirit of Adoption. Heirs of God. The Sufferings
of Saints. The Groanings of the Creation. All Things Working for
Good to Saints. The Purpose and Foreordination of God. God's
Protection of His Children.
[There is] therefore. The "therefore" points to the argument of
chapter 7, which shows that in Christ we are delivered from sin and
from the curse of the law.
No condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. As those in
Christ have died with him, Romans 6:1-4, they have in him satisfied
the law, and hence they cannot be under condemnation. He, the sinless
One, "was made sin for us"; so we, forgiven through him, are "made the
righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). This blessed condition
depends on a vital union with Christ. "Baptized into Christ" (Romans 6:3),
we must walk in him, "not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".
Compare John 15:1-7 Eph 1:23.
Who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
See PNT "Ro 8:4".
