“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)
July 1, 2019 - For all who have truly and fully accepted Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord and Master there is no judgement on the day of the final judgment of mankind. For those have been set free from that judgement that leads to the death of the spirit.
“For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2)
Our Lord Christ Jesus said this about living in him and knowing his truth, the truth of the gospel of our Lord.
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31)
“For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8:3-4)
Jesus Christ gave his life, once for all, on the cross of Calvary that all mankind might have eternal life through his sacrifice. He paid the debt for the sin of all and he requires nothing in return but that we believe in him as Lord of all and King of kings. That we accept his free gift of salvation as we accept him as our personal Lord and Savior.
The law could never accomplish what Christ Jesus was able to accomplish by that one gracious act of love and mercy for all people.
“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.” (Romans 8:5)
This one simple choice is the one choice that all people must make. All must choose whom they will serve, Jesus Christ and eternal life with him in heaven, or, the devil and eternal life with him in hell.
“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6)
No one can not choose for the choice is made at birth for all and that choice is death, all must then choose Jesus Christ to gain life and defeat the death of the spirit.
This must be done; “For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law, indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” (Romans 8:7)
The choice to serve Jesus Christ must be made or you will be forever lost, forever in torment, forever in pain and suffering.
“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.” (Romans 8:9)
All must choose the one or the other.
“But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you.” (Romans 8:10-11)
