There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the
Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:1-2
اذا لا شيء من الدينونة الآن على الذين هم في المسيح
يسوع السالكين ليس حسب الجسد بل حسب الروح.
2 لان ناموس روح الحياة في المسيح يسوع قد اعتقني من ناموس الخطية والموت.
In
Romans 7, the Apostle Paul said: ‘So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to
God’s law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin’ meaning that
the Law could not affect deliverance from sin. In Romans 8 he states ‘There
is, therefore, now’ deliverance and it is related to the gospel alone. This
applies only to those who have surrendered their lives to Christ and accepted
the fact that He bore their sins in His own body at The Cross, and have
declared Him as their Lord and Saviour. God has justified us, or declared us
not guilty, because by the gift of faith we have accepted Christ as Saviour.
Because Christ has already endured the penalty of our sins and obeyed the
precept of the Law in our behalf, there is no condemnation whatever; not only
no final condemnation, but no condemnation now.
This
does not mean a license to sin, on the contrary. By accepting Jesus as Lord
over our lives the Spirit of God is conveyed into our hearts through The Holy
Spirit and we are delivered from sin.
Our
union with Christ is compared to that between the vine and its branches John 15:1-6, and hence, we
believers are in Him in a similar sense, as deriving our support from Him, and
as united in feeling, in purpose, and destiny. Out of love for Jesus and through
the Holy Spirit we live in obedience to God.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings
and love. Thank You Lord that my DNA reveals that; I as a follower of Your
Son Jesus; I am free forever from condemnation. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power
through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can live by the spirit and not
by the flesh. Father God, I praise You and glorify You. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be
the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
