Romans Chapter 8
God’s Purpose for You in Christ Jesus
“Romans 8 is the mountain top of divine truth”, Arno Gaebelein
Romans 8 1-39
The Work of God in Your Life
1./ You have the SPIRIT of God / you have been set free – a Divine Person living in you V 2
2./ You are a Child of God – adoption of sonship / an heir – V 15
3./ You have been Predestined (marked out / chosen for glory) to be like Jesus V 29
4./ You are Secure / nothing can Separate you now – V 35
8:1 Begins “ There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them who are in Christ Jesus”
Teachings : No sin a believer can commit (past/future) can be held against him. The penalty was paid by Jesus Christ on the cross. His righteousness has been imputed to the believer, NOTHING can reverse this divine legal decision. “ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? “ Who is to condemn ? It’s God who justifies . Shall Christ who died ? V 34
John 3:18 “ He who believes on the Son is not condemned”
5 Pillars of Divine Truth in Romans
1./ Romans 2:1 “Therefore you have NO EXCUSE” - NO EXCUSE
2./ Romans 3: 20 “Therefore (KJV) by the works of the law no human being will be justified” – NOT BY WORKS
3./ Romans 5: 1 “Therefore being justified BY FAITH we have peace with God…” – NOTHING BUT FAITH
4./ Romans 8: 1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ – NO CONDEMNATION
5./ Romans 12:1 “Therefore brethren by the mercies of God present your bodies a living sacrifice – NO RESERVATION
