The greatest place in the universe.John Farley
Pastor-Teacher Wednesday, March 25, 2015 The greatest place in the universe.Verses 1-13: Rom 8:1-13 He guarantees our liberty and is transforming us into the Lord’s glory. 2Co 3:17-18 All of this is provided and established before we ever get to the first command for us in relation to the Spirit. Gal 5:16 Romans 8 is the foundation for our relationship as believers with the Holy Spirit. Paul is talking about LIFE in the SPIRIT. Rom 8:1 κατάκριμα
katakrima the sentence pronounced, the condemnation, with a suggestion of the punishment following Romans 8 continues the line of argument Paul was making in chapter 5. Rom 5:12-21 There are a host of parallels between chapter 5 and chapter 8 of the book of Romans. Romans 8:1 picks up where Romans 5:16-18 leaves off. Rom 5:16-18 Rom 8:2 picks up where Rom 5:19-21 leaves off. The new things highlighted in Romans 8 are our position in Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit. We are in a new position that is entirely beyond the reach of everything to which the judgment of God applied. 1Co 1:26-31
