NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST; YOU ARE NO LONGER IN CHRIST IF YOU WALK AFTER THE FLESH UNLESS YOU REPENT.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (SAVED IS NOT ALWAYS SAVED UNLESS YOU REPENT. THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION IF YOU DO NOT WALK AFTER THE FLESH), but after the Spirit.
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (IS ETERNAL LIFE) hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
THE LAW OF THE "SPIRIT" (OR NEW NATURE) SETS US FREE FROM THE CLAIMS OF THE LAW (NOT THE LAW).
8:3 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 the flesh:
THE LAW IS NOT WEAK, FLESH IS.
CHRIST WAS SENT IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH TO SHOW US THE WAY.
HE DID NOT SIN HIMSELF BUT HE SHOWED US HOW TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
8:4 That the righteousness (TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT) of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT FULFILLS THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF TO TAKE OVER YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK GOD'S LAW. WE FALL SHORT WHEN WE LET THE FLESH TO TAKE OVER.
8:5 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.
WHEN YOU ALLOW THE SPIRIT TO LEAD YOU WILL NOT SIN.
8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
YOU WILL FIND THAT PEACE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S WORD.
DISCIPLINE YOURSELF IN THAT AND HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND.
8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
ATHEISTS ARE AN ENMITY AGAINST GOD AND THEY WILL HAVE NO BLESSINGS.
THEY GO AGAINST THEIR OWN NATURE OR THEIR CARNAL ATTITUDE.
8:8 So they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
WITHOUT CHRIST YOU CANNOT PLEASE GOD.
8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
YOU ARE NOT CARNALLY MINDED IF YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT.
8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
AGAIN, CHRIST DEPARTS EVERY TIME YOU SIN. YOU MUST REPENT FOR HIM TO ENTER AGAIN.
8:11 But if the Spirit of Him That raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He That raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (MAKE ALIVE) your mortal bodies (MORTAL=LIABLE TO DIE. MORTAL ALWAYS APPLIES TO THE SOUL) by His Spirit That dwelleth in you.
8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU LOVE CHRIST AND DISCIPLINE YOURSELF YOU SHALL LIVE.
8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (IT MEANS GOD OWNS YOU).
8:15 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."
AN ADOPTED CHILD (THE CHURCH IS ISRAEL BY ADOPTION) MAY PARTAKE ALL THE PRIVILEGES OF THE FAMILY, ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT BORN IN THE FAMILY. BUT THE SUBJECT OF THIS VERSE ARE BEGOTTEN OF THE SPIRIT (JOHN 3:6) AND ARE, THEREFORE, CHILDREN OR SONS OF GOD BY SPIRITUAL GENERATION. IT IS THUS A REAL SONSHIP SPIRIT THAT ENABLES THEM TO CRY, "ABBA, FATHER."
IT IS SAID THAT SLAVES WERE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE WORD "ABBA". STRICTLY, THEREFORE, IT CAN BE EMPLOYED ONLY BY THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE GIFT OF THE DIVINE NATURE.
8:16 The Spirit Itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
8:17 And if children, then heirs (HEIR IS THE ONE WHO INHERITS SOMETHING); heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him (YOU WILL HAVE A LITTLE TROUBLE WHEN YOU SERVE HIM BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ENEMY OF THE WORLD), that we may be also glorified together.
IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, YOU DESERVE AN INHERITANCE
8:18 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 (ETERNAL LIFE IS COMING).
8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature (CREATION) waiteth for the manifestation (1ST DAY OF THE MILLENNIUM) of the sons of God.
CREATION WAITING TO SHARE THE COMING GLORY OF THIS MANIFESTATION OF THE LIBERTY OF THE GLORY.
8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him Who hath subjected the same in hope,
THE PLAN OF GOD.
8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
THE EARTH WILL BE MADE LIKE IT WAS MADE IN THE 1ST EARTH AGE BEFORE SATAN'S FALL.
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
CREATION UNITING ITS GROANING WITH OURS WAITING FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF OUR RESURRECTION GLORY.
8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits (THE ELECT) of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE CHANGING OF OUR BODY, FROM FLESH TO SPIRITUAL.
HE SPEAKS NOT TO THE ONE WHO KNOWS THE LAW BUT HIS ELECT.
8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
IT PLEASES GOD THAT WE BELIEVE IN HIM EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.
8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (WEAKNESSES): for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
WE DON'T KNOW GOD'S PLAN IN DETAIL. HE PROVIDES AN INTERCESSION FOR US.
8:27 And He That searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
HE INTERFERES WITH HIS ELECT'S LIVES.
IN OTHER WORDS, GOD WILL PUT YOU WHERE HE CAN USE YOU TO DO HIS WORK.
8:28 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 (HIS ELECT).
8:29 For who he did foreknow (HE KNEW FROM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THIS WORLD), He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
HE PREARRANGED THE DESTINY OF HIS ELECT.
DO NOT CONFUSE "ELECT" WITH OTHER BELIEVERS.
HE CHOSE HIS ELECT TO DO HIS WORK ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOMEONE JUST BEING SAVED.
8:30 Moreover who He did predestinate, them He also called: and who He called, them He also justified (JUDGED): and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
THERE IS PREDESTINATION FOR THE ELECT.
8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
WE HAVE POWER OVER EVIL.
MAKE A NOTE OF LUKE 10:18-19.
8:32 H 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?
8:33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God That justifieth;
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IF YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S ELECT. YOU WERE PREDESTINED AND YOU MAKE A STAND FOR HIM.
IT IS GOD THAT JUDGES.
8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ That died, yea rather, That is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us (HE MAKES INTERCESSION BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR ENEMIES, NOT BETWEEN YOU AND GOD BECAUSE HE IS GOD).
8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril (DANGER), or sword?
WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH NO MAN CAN DECEIVE YOU CONCERNING MEN'S DOCTRINES.
8:36 As it is written, "For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
QUOTED PSALMS 44:22.
THE SHEPHERD SAYS, 'I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU; I WILL PROTECT YOU'.
WHO PROTECTS THE SHEEP? THE SHEPHERD (CHRIST).
8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him That loved us.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DESTINY IS.
8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities (FALLEN ANGELS), nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE YOU FROM THE TRUTH IF YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S ELECT.
GOD BLESS
