WORSHIP

Last week, we considered our need to be rescued. Romans chapter 7 focuses on how sin has gotten us in an awful plight from which we cannot deliver ourselves. We find we are torn between our impulses toward good and evil, seemingly prisoners of our own worst selves. But good news, Paul says, we have a rescuer in Jesus the Messiah, our Lord!

Beginning today, and for the next several weeks, we will dig into chapter eight of Romans. It is a wonderful chapter overflowing with hope and encouragement as it describes life in the Spirit. It begins with the astonishing pronouncement that “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!” (8:1) And it ends with the resounding assurance that there is “nothing in all of creation that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (8:38-39).

No condemnation; unshakeable love. How can this be? How has God acted to bring this about? How has the law of the Spirit overcome the law of sin and death? How has the struggle between the “flesh” and the Spirit been resolved? And how can we live more deeply into life in the Spirit? Paul addresses these questions in the opening section of Romans 8.

Could there be better news with which to begin a New Year than to be reassured that for all those who seek to follow Jesus there is, indeed, no condemnation!
