People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 8:3
What the law could not do. Because of the resistance it met in
human nature. It was not strong enough to overcome the tendency of the
flesh, the carnal nature, to evil. God did this by
sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. When Christ
came in human form he took the likeness of sinful flesh.
And for sin. As a sacrifice for our sins. See John 1:29.
Condemned sin in the flesh. To "condemn" is to sentence and to
devote to destruction. Sin is condemned, (1) By the spotless life of
Christ. In the flesh he was without sin. (2) By his death for sin our
past sins are forgiven. (3) By our vital union with his death and life
we rise to walk in a new life, with a new spirit, and hence, not under
the power of the flesh. See Romans 6:4.
