Our having received the first-fruits of the Spirit, quickens our desires, encourages our hopes, and raises our expectations. Many doubts, but no condemnation. You have said, “I will attend the house of prayer regularly.” You cannot please God by doing that, so long as you are “in the flesh.” You may be as moral as you please, and we beseech you so to be; but unless you have the Spirit of God unless you are really changed in heart, and made new creatures in Christ Jesus, all that you can do, as long as you are “in the flesh, cannot please God.” Virtues, in unregenerate men, are nothing but whitewashed sins. In this life they are in part renewed, and walk in his steps. Upon this, in due time, follows effectual calling, by which the chosen ones are brought out, from the impure mass of mankind, and set apart unto God. If any habitually live according to corrupt lustings, they will certainly perish in their sins, whatever they profess. Well, we will say this much at any rate.

The Expulsive Power of a New Affection;” and it is this new affection for Christ, which is the accompaniment of the new life in Christ, which expels the old forces that used to hold us under bondage to sin and death. ⦠And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. “We know.” We are sure of it. Romans 8:35-36. Let it be buried with Christ in baptism. Leave a comment with your favorite verse if it is not listed here. “It shall bruise thy heel, but thou shalt bruise his head.” There is to be the heel-bruising for the Christ, as well as for us; but there is to be the head-crushing of sin and Satan for him and for us, too. The trump of the archangel shall proclaim it. There are certain persons, nowadays, who say that we know nothing; yet the apostles constantly say, “We know this,” and “We know that.” These people tell us that there is a great distinction between believing and knowing,— but, evidently, it is a distinction of which the inspired apostles knew nothing at all. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. And woe to the preacher who can preach an adoption which he never enjoyed. The book of Romans is a hard book to read at first. It has brought on the woes of earth; it has kindled the flames of hell. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. That foreknowledge, to which all things future are open and present, begins the deed of love. This is the essential to sonship — that we should have the Spirit of God within us. Certainly not, for we owe the flesh nothing. what a rise is this from groaning under, “O wretched man that I am! Romans 8:23. And if we do not exhibit the Spirit of Christ in our character,-if we have not gentleness, meekness, purity, holiness, benevolence, we are none of Christ’s. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. What, indeed, what can we say? Romans 8:30. Half of your professors, we fear, will at the last be found not to have had “the Spirit of Christ.” It is one thing to profess religion, beloved, it is quite another thing to possess vital godliness. “The Spirit is life, because of righteousness.” That will not die. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Any one of these things befog true of us, it is most certain that the rest are also true. yes; somehow or other, good will come of it.” It does not say so here. It is God that justifieth. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Every creature stands on tip-toe, looking for the coming of Christ and the manifestation of the redeemed. You may even live to see and seek your parting. Romans 8:22. If so, they would still have been worthy to be compared; but Paul saw that there was no proportion whatever between them. Romans 8:18-19. He was not afraid or ashamed to speak of the purposes of God. Happy day! Romans 8:9. And is there, in addition to the witness of the Spirit within you that it is true? God makes the universe to be like an instrument of music played upon by the fingers of mortal men: so that when they are sorrowful, the world is sorrowful, and when they go forth with joy and are led forth with peace, then the mountains and the hills shall break forth before them into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Romans 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? Even this surface analysis tells us that Ro-mans is God-centered. (1-9) Their privileges as being the children of God. You know the revelation that is in the book; but how grand will be the revelation that is in the man! The day shall come when, however, even it shall be delivered from the power of death; meanwhile, blessed be God, “the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”. It is rather singular that it should be so. The second division would be chapters 6-8. Because he maketh intercession for (or, in) the saints according to the will of God. This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 66.; and Romans 8:1-9. “The body is dead because of sin;” and hence come those aches and pains, that heaviness, that weariness, that decay, those infirmities of age which we experience so long as we bear about with us this body of death. While God is for us, and we keep in his love, we may with holy boldness defy all the powers of darkness.32-39 All things whatever, in heaven and earth, are not so great a display of God's free love, as the gift of his coequal Son to be the atonement on the cross for the sin of man; and all the rest follows upon union with him, and interest in him. Whose everlasting plea, therefore, silences all the accusations of the devil. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: That mind with which we are all born is enmity against God, and however much refined or polished a man may be, however amiable or polite, however he may shine amongst his fellow-creatures, if he has not had a new heart and a right spirit, he is at “enmity against God,” and he cannot enter heaven until there has been a divine change wrought in him. 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: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Have you never noticed that holy men of old sometimes spoke much greater things than they thought they should, for the Spirit of God in them spoke by them more than they themselves understood; and I believe that it is so in prayer. Will he contradict himself? “Salvation is of the Lord.” This is so often forgotten that, trite as it may appear, we cannot repeat it too often: “Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate whom he did predestinate, them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” You might suppose, from the talk of some men, that, salvation is all of the man himself; — that is free agency pushed into a falsehood, a plain truth puffed into a lie. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things ? Romans 8:20-23. This is scarcely a matter of faith. Amen. The old judgment that was recorded against us is now erased; and in God’s book of remembrance there is not to be found a single condemnatory syllable, nor one word of anger written against any believer in Christ Jesus. We will read it again: “There is therefore now no condemnation, “There is a great deal of accusation, and a great deal more of tribulation, but there is no condemnation not the least hint of it. Romans 8:13. The whole world is in its pangs and birth-throes, and there can never come its complete deliverance into the new heavens and the new earth, except there shall also be the manifestation of the children of God, and their deliverance from all that now hampers and hinders the divine life that is within them. Oh! Romans 8:8-9. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. You shall have earthly sorrow on earthly ground, and you shall have heavenly bliss on the heavenly shore: but not till then. Romans 8:24-30. Are we most wise for the world, or for our souls? For they would never have loved God if he had not called them to it, and had not purposed to call them. First, love, and then sonship; he rises in his strain. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. and a man of full stature in Christ would surely carry the keys of heaven’s treasury at his girdle. Romans 8:5. 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you # 8:2 The Greek is singular; some manuscripts me free from the law of sin and death.

The best performance of an unchanged character is worthless in God’s sight. The next most common word is Law (78 times). It is not a man that is dead in sin that calls himself “wretched,” because he finds sin within him; it is a man made pure by the grace of God, who, because of that very purity, tools more the comparatively lesser force of sin than he would have done when he had less grace and more sin. Their persecutors thought they were triumphing over them, but it was the martyrs who were the victors all the while. Foreknowledge is welded to the predestination: the predestination is infallibly linked with the calling, the calling with the justification, and the justification with the glorification. and oh that I were his; that I could please him and live to him! That is to come at the resurrection. But this is not all. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. There have been mighty pangs within you telling of the presence of this wrestling spirit. Christian, Christ is the golden key of God’s treasuries; you have but to use him aright, and whatever you need shall be yours. So long as we are under the dominion of the old nature, the depraved and-fallen nature, there is no pleasing God. he has loved them all the more. That is the whole process of prayer. 7 Because the [ c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Romans 8:33-34.

We have got nothing good out of the flesh at present, for it is not yet “delivered from the bondage of corruption,” though it is to be delivered. “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Do you know what it is to have the Spirit of Christ ? It is God that justifieth. We are not afraid of our own Father; we have a filial fear of him, but it is so mixed with love that there is no torment in it. If so, rejoice in thy predestinator. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Ah! We are to take the rough and the smooth, the bitter and the sweet, with Christ; and who will make any demur to that? They have been tried, I say. Do you mind spiritual things or the things of the flesh? We were in bondage, and we have come out in a measure into the liberty of the children of God. Let him be sure of that. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. What shall we then say to these things? We are part and parcel of creation, and we shall draw it along with us. Condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. But they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. The body is still under the old law of death, and so we have pain and weakness, and we die; but the spirit, oh! Romans 8:10. Though now, in common with the whole creation, the body is subjected to bondages, yet it shall be delivered, and we — the whole man, body as well as soul and spirit — shall be brought into the liberty of the children of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. One wave dashes this way, and another that, but they are all working together, and they are all working with one great purpose too. Romans 8:27. For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son.

What shall we then say to these things? “Now abide these three —faith, hope, and love”; for in heaven there will be room, surely, for trust in the ever blessed God that he will never cast us out from our blessedness —room for the expectation of the second advent — room for the expectation of the conquest of the world — room for the fulfilled promise of bringing all the elect to glory; still something to be hoped for; still something to be believed. “Ye must be born again,” for that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and only that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Romans 8:26.

And if children, then heirs: heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; Oh that if — “if children.” There are some that get over all that.

Not only is part of it removed, but the whole of it is gone: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” This is their legal status before God,—in Christ Jesus, without condemnation; and this is their character:—. What then is to be done with it? 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. When God gave us Christ, he gave us everything, for all the blessings of this life and of the life that is to come lie hidden in Christ as the kernel is within the shell of the nut.

Grace in the soul is its new nature; the soul is alive to God, and has begun its holy happiness which shall endure for ever.
