No condemnation. 8/5/15

Day 214 - Reading the New Testament in one year.

Romans 8:1-21

Life Through the Spirit

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[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Present Suffering and Future Glory

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

Liquid love August 5th

“I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” JOHN 17:23

When the Lord says, “You in Me,” He is referring to the Father in Him. The Father loves Him, and He is “into the bosom of the Father” (John 1:18). This speaks of the mutual love between the Father and the Son. The first part of the above verse says, “I in them,” which means the Son is in us. Of course, when He is in us, that brings the Father into us, because the Son comes with the Father. He comes with Their love relationship. He comes with this wonderful liquid love flowing between the Father and the Son, and the Son and the Father. Now the Lord is in us. He is in us moving with that love. In John 15:9 He says, “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” Let that love move in you. That means let the divine life flow. When the life flows, the love flows. When you release life, love comes with that life.

“I in them” means “I am moving in them, I am loving in them.” It is a love relationship. The Lord wants to establish in us a relationship with Him and the Father that casts out all fear. He wants us to be comfortable with Him. He wants us to know the security of His love. As the Father has loved the Son, the Son loves us. He wants us to know that love. He wants our whole relationship to be in that love. He wants us to know that even when we are failing, we are loved by Him. He died for us. He wants us to know the security of coming to Him after a horrible defeat and saying, “Jesus, forgive me.” He wants us to know in the security of that love that the blood is cleansing us from all sin.
