Description
**Romans 8:1-4** (1) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: (4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 1/ What the law could not do and why. 2/ What God did through sending his Son, Jesus Christ. 3/ The effect of God's calling - It changes what men walk after. 4/ The blessings on those **that walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.** - They are in Christ Jesus. - There is now no condemnation. - They are free from the law of sin and death. - The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in them. **Sermon summary:** The sermon centers on the transformative power of God's grace revealed in Romans 8:1–4, emphasizing that the law, though holy and necessary, could not overcome humanity's sinful nature or deliver from condemnation due to the weakness of the flesh. God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, fulfilled what the law could not by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, in the likeness of sinful flesh, who lived a perfect life, bore the penalty of sin, and condemned sin in the flesh through His sacrificial death. This divine act of redemption results in a profound spiritual transformation: those who are called by God no longer walk after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
