Romans 8:1-2 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

• 0:00
  This morning's Bible study text is Romans chapter 8 verses 1 and 2, so please join us there as we turn our attention to the study of God's word.
• 0:09
  Before we study this text, I want to remind you of two things.
• 0:13
  First, our teaching on Sundays has been working in concord with CFC's Bible reading plan.
• 0:20
  And we're doing this for two reasons.
• 0:23
  First, we want you to see the connectivity of the text, right?
• 0:27
  We are believing that the beauty of the scripture will come alive to you across the year and that you will have a greater grasp of its narrative arc as we do this together.
• 0:38
  Secondly, we want you to read your Bible.
• 0:41
  We want this to promote Bible reading, to want to fill in the gaps in between the teaching you're receiving.
• 0:49
  I learned this week that only 3% of professing American Christians have ever read through the entire Bible.
• 0:55
  And we want to encourage us reading through the Bible as many times as we possibly can.
• 1:01
  Certainly a wonderful goal is reading through the entirety of it each and every year.
• 1:06
  And all you have to do to accomplish this is read three chapters a day.
• 1:11
  That's all it takes to read through the entire Bible in the year.
• 1:14
  And this takes no more than 10 to 15 minutes each day.
• 1:19
  The average college student, which I know fewer and fewer of us are college students, so this stat becomes less relevant.
• 1:27
  But the average college student spends two and a half hours a day on social media.
• 1:33
  I don't know what the average is for each one of us.
• 1:36
  But if you took two and a half hours a day and applied it to Bible reading, you could read the Bible eight and a half times a year.
• 1:44
  The entire Bible eight and a half times in a year.
• 1:47
  Which just shows that at the very least we could say college students have time to read the Bible.
• 1:53
  And if we just pared that down in some measure, we certainly could say the same for each of us.
• 1:58
  We have the time to read through the scripture and to do so in large amounts.
• 2:04
  And I would think you will find that your life would be extremely enriched by this practice.
• 2:08
  So we're hoping to promote that.
• 2:10
  Second thing I want to remind you of is that the teaching this morning will be brief by design so that you can take time with the discussion questions,
• 2:18
  whether you're by yourself or meeting together with a group.
• 2:22
  So Romans chapter eight, verse one and two.
• 2:26
  There's therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
• 2:32
  For the law of the spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
• 2:40
  Now, as I was looking to what text to teach on today and pulling from the scripture reading from this past week,
• 2:48
  I was a bit grieved that we covered all of the book of Romans in this past week's scripture reading.
• 2:54
  It was concluded today, which meant I only got to pick one teaching time from all of the book of Romans,
• 3:01
  which was not a terribly easy thing to do.
• 3:05
  But I settled on these two verses because these two verses have most ministered to me from the book of Romans.
• 3:13
  So I hope that they'll be of good benefit to you as well.
• 3:16
  And we're just going to simply look at them in the order that they were written.
• 3:20
  So verse one and then verse two.
• 3:23
  So we see the very beginning of verse one.
• 3:26
  Paul writes, there is there for now.
• 3:30
  This is a direct reference back to Romans chapter seven, verses 21 through 25, where he wrote,
• 3:37
  So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
• 3:43
  If I delight in the law of God in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind
• 3:50
  and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
• 3:55
  Wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death?
• 4:00
  Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
• 4:03
  So then I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
• 4:10
  And then he immediately, remember the chapters are not inspired, says,
• 4:14
  There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
• 4:19
  So it's a direct reference back to the end of chapter seven.
• 4:23
  But also, I believe, indirectly referencing back to the entire letter up to this point.
• 4:28
  So just a few reminders from Romans chapter one, verse 16 and 17.
• 4:35
  Paul said,
• 4:35
  So he begins really early building this case that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
• 5:00
  In chapter two, verses 12 and 13.
• 5:04
  For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law.
• 5:08
  And all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
• 5:12
  For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.
• 5:18
  And then he works out in chapters three, four, and five, that the law is kept by faith in Jesus's perfect law keeping.
• 5:29
  So Jesus was perfectly righteous, and therefore by faith in him we have his righteousness.
• 5:35
  Chapter five and verse one.
• 5:38
  Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 5:46
  Right?
• 5:47
  So because of the faith in Christ, having been justified by him, through him, we have peace with God.
• 5:55
  And then chapter six and verse six.
• 5:58
  We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing,
• 6:05
  so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
• 6:09
  So having been justified by faith and having peace with God, having the righteousness of Christ, we've been set free from sin.
• 6:18
  We're no longer enslaved to sin.
• 6:20
  It's not a master over us any longer.
• 6:22
  And yet, Paul tells us at the end of chapter seven that we still struggle with sin.
• 6:29
  That this is a normal part of the Christian life, that we are still battling against our flesh.
• 6:35
  But then he says at the beginning of chapter eight, there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
• 6:45
  Right?
• 6:46
  Even as we struggle in this state of the what is and what is yet to be.
• 6:52
  Right?
• 6:52
  We've been set free from sin, and yet we still sin.
• 6:57
  Wretched man that I am.
• 6:59
  Right?
• 6:59
  Why do I go on sinning even though I've been set free from sinning?
• 7:02
  Who will deliver me from this body of death?
• 7:06
  Right?
• 7:06
  And he comes along with this beautiful encouragement for us at the beginning of chapter eight.
• 7:12
  He says there's no condemnation.
• 7:15
  And the Greek word here used for no is oudes.
• 7:20
  And it's an emphatic negative adjective relating to time.
• 7:24
  It carries the idea of a complete end.
• 7:28
  Right?
• 7:28
  So there's no condemnation absolutely, you could think in those terms.
• 7:34
  Not now and not ever.
• 7:37
  And the term katachryma, katachryma, condemnation, is only found in the book of Romans here and in chapter five, verses 16 and 18.
• 7:47
  And it relates to the sentencing of a crime.
• 7:50
  But focuses not on the verdict, but on the penalty the verdict demands.
• 7:56
  Right?
• 7:56
  So there's no penalty.
• 8:00
  Right?
• 8:01
  Even though we once were sinners.
• 8:04
  Right?
• 8:04
  We've been now declared righteous.
• 8:06
  And the penalty that the verdict demands has been dismissed.
• 8:12
  Paul wrote in Romans chapter six, verse 23, for the wages of sin is death.
• 8:17
  Right?
• 8:17
  There's the penalty for the verdict.
• 8:19
  But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
• 8:24
  Now, for those not in Christ, those who have not placed their faith in him, trusted in his righteousness to have peace with God, their condemnation presses down on them.
• 8:37
  If we are in Christ, we are free from condemnation.
• 8:40
  But if you're not in Christ, condemnation presses down on you.
• 8:46
  I'd like to read to you a fairly long quotation.
• 8:50
  I'll do my best to read it well.
• 8:51
  This is an excerpt from Jonathan Edwards' famous speech, speech, sermon.
• 8:57
  We'll call it a sermon.
• 8:58
  Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
• 9:01
  He delivered this sermon in 1741.
• 9:05
  Listen carefully to its words, particularly if you've not trusted in Christ.
• 9:10
  There is the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of God.
• 9:16
  There is hell's wide, gaping mouth open.
• 9:20
  And you have nothing to stand upon, nor anything to take hold of.
• 9:23
  There is nothing between you and hell but the air.
• 9:26
  It is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up.
• 9:31
  You probably are not sensible of this.
• 9:34
  You find you are kept out of hell, but you do not see the hand of God in it.
• 9:38
  But look at other things, at the good state of your bodily constitution,
• 9:43
  your care of your own life, and the means you use for your own preservation.
• 9:47
  But indeed, these things are nothing.
• 9:50
  If God should withdraw his hand, they would avail no more to keep you from falling
• 9:54
  than the thin air to hold up a person that is suspended in it.
• 9:59
  Your wickedness makes you, as it were, heavy as lead,
• 10:02
  and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell.
• 10:06
  And if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and swiftly descend
• 10:11
  and plunge into the bottomless gulf.
• 10:14
  And your healthy constitution and your own care and prudence and best contrivance
• 10:19
  and all your righteousness would have no more influence to hold you up
• 10:23
  and keep you out of hell than a spider's web would have to stop a falling rock.
• 10:29
  Were it not for the sovereign pleasure of God,
• 10:31
  the earth would not bear you one moment, for you are a burden to it.
• 10:36
  The creation groans with you.
• 10:38
  The creation is made subject to the bondage of your corruption.
• 10:43
  The sun does not willingly shine upon you to give you light to serve sin and Satan.
• 10:47
  The earth does not willingly yield her increase to satisfy your lusts,
• 10:52
  nor is it willingly a stage for your wickedness to be acted upon.
• 10:55
  The earth does not willingly serve you for breath to maintain the flame of your life in your vitals,
• 11:01
  while you spend your life in the service of God's enemies.
• 11:05
  God's creatures are good and were made for men to serve God with,
• 11:09
  and do not willingly subserve to any other purpose,
• 11:12
  and grow when they are abused to purposes so directly contrary to their nature and end.
• 11:18
  And the world would spew you out,
• 11:20
  were it not for the sovereign hand of him who hath subjected it in hope.
• 11:24
  There are the black clouds of God's wrath now hanging directly over your heads,
• 11:30
  full of the dreadful storm and big with thunder.
• 11:34
  And were it not for the restraining hand of God,
• 11:37
  it would immediately burst forth upon you.
• 11:40
  End quote.
• 11:42
  But our text today says there is now no condemnation.
• 11:48
  No condemnation for who?
• 11:50
  For those who are in Christ Jesus.
• 11:54
  All that Edwards rightly says,
• 11:57
  the condemnation that is true and just for those not in Christ,
• 12:02
  is not ours because we are in Christ.
• 12:06
  John chapter 10, beginning in verse 27,
• 12:10
  Jesus says,
• 12:11
  Beloved, this is God's doing, right?
• 12:34
  Regardless of how you acted this week,
• 12:38
  if you are in Christ,
• 12:40
  God sees Jesus when he sees you,
• 12:43
  and you are safe,
• 12:44
  and you are secure in his hand.
• 12:47
  There is therefore now no condemnation.
• 12:52
  Right?
• 12:53
  Udais katakrima.
• 12:54
  No condemnation.
• 12:56
  If you are not in Christ,
• 12:58
  your condemnation is just.
• 13:00
  Repent and believe.
• 13:01
  If you are in Christ,
• 13:04
  you have been freed from condemnation.
• 13:07
  Live as a freed person.
• 13:11
  We have to preach this to ourselves again and again and again
• 13:16
  as we find ourselves failing to obey the commands of God
• 13:20
  to say to ourselves,
• 13:22
  there is therefore now no condemnation
• 13:24
  because I am in Christ.
• 13:28
  His righteousness is mine.
• 13:30
  He took the penalty for my sin.
• 13:33
  There is no condemnation for me.
• 13:37
  And this does not become a pass for sin,
• 13:39
  but it ought to move us in worship
• 13:41
  that we would become more holy
• 13:44
  by the power that he provides.
• 13:46
  Right?
• 13:46
  That we would want to please him
• 13:47
  because we have been freed in this way.
• 13:52
  Verse 2 says,
• 13:53
  For the law of the spirit of life
• 13:55
  has set you free in Christ Jesus
• 13:58
  from the law of sin and death.
• 14:01
  In Christ Jesus,
• 14:01
  we have been delivered from the law of sin and death
• 14:04
  to the law of the spirit of life.
• 14:09
  When Paul refers to the law here,
• 14:10
  I do not believe he's referring to the Mosaic law
• 14:12
  or to other divine commandments or requirements,
• 14:16
  but that he's referring to a principle of operation.
• 14:19
  Right?
• 14:20
  To the thing that drives you.
• 14:23
  Are we driven by sin, death,
• 14:27
  or by the spirit of life?
• 14:30
  When Jesus explained the way of salvation
• 14:33
  to Dick and Ebus in John chapter 3, verse 5,
• 14:36
  he said,
• 14:36
  Truly, truly, I say to you,
• 14:38
  unless one is born of water and the spirit,
• 14:41
  he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
• 14:44
  Paul explains in Titus chapter 3, verses 5 and 6,
• 14:47
  God saved us,
• 14:49
  not because of works done by us in righteousness,
• 14:51
  but according to his own mercy,
• 14:54
  by the washing of regeneration
• 14:56
  and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
• 14:58
  whom he poured out on us richly
• 15:00
  through Jesus Christ, our Savior.
• 15:04
  It is the Holy Spirit who bestows,
• 15:06
  and energizes spiritual life.
• 15:10
  Paul clarifies this in the following verses
• 15:12
  in chapter 8, verse 6,
• 15:16
  For to set the mind on the flesh is death,
• 15:19
  but to set the mind on the spirit
• 15:21
  is life and peace.
• 15:23
  So the spirit of Christ leads us in the truth,
• 15:28
  namely by the word of Christ, the Bible.
• 15:32
  Verse 9 of chapter 8,
• 15:33
  You, however, are not in the flesh,
• 15:36
  but in the spirit,
• 15:37
  if in fact the spirit of God dwells in you.
• 15:40
  Anyone who does not have the spirit of Christ
• 15:42
  does not belong to him.
• 15:45
  And verse 10,
• 15:46
  But if Christ is in you,
• 15:47
  although the body is dead because of sin,
• 15:50
  the spirit is life
• 15:52
  because of righteousness.
• 15:53
  The Holy Spirit bestows and energizes
• 15:57
  our spiritual life.
• 16:01
  And does so
• 16:02
  because we are in Christ Jesus.
• 16:07
  And the Bible speaks both of Christ being in us.
• 16:12
  See chapters 8, 9, and 10.
• 16:14
  It's what I just read to you.
• 16:15
  The spirit, so Christ,
• 16:17
  is in us
• 16:18
  and of us being in Christ.
• 16:23
  Being in Christ makes us accepted before God.
• 16:26
  And Christ being in us
• 16:28
  empowers us for holiness.
• 16:31
  Both are profound realities
• 16:34
  for the Christian to understand
• 16:36
  and hold on to.
• 16:37
  Don't think of them as the same reality.
• 16:40
  Think of them as two concurrent realities, right?
• 16:44
  Christ is in us
• 16:45
  and we are in Christ.
• 16:47
  It's important to wrap our mind around the both.
• 16:52
  If we were not in Christ
• 16:53
  and if Christ was not in us,
• 16:55
  we would be unable to stand before God
• 16:58
  and we would be unable to live rightly.
• 17:01
  Because our text says,
• 17:03
  In Christ Jesus,
• 17:04
  I want to explore that idea a bit further
• 17:06
  by reading to you a list
• 17:08
  that was compiled by Pastor John Piper.
• 17:11
  And I posted this in Slack for you
• 17:13
  because it's a bit
• 17:14
  and I think you'll want to go back
• 17:16
  and re-reference it later on.
• 17:19
  So I'm just going to rattle these off.
• 17:21
  13 realities
• 17:22
  because you are in Christ.
• 17:24
  And I'll read the verses
• 17:25
  that accompany each one of them.
• 17:27
  I hope this is really good
• 17:29
  for your soul this morning.
• 17:31
  Number one,
• 17:32
  In Christ Jesus,
• 17:33
  you were given grace
• 17:35
  before the world was created.
• 17:37
  2 Timothy 1.9 says,
• 17:38
  He gave us grace in Christ Jesus
• 17:41
  before the ages began.
• 17:43
  Number two,
• 17:45
  In Christ Jesus,
• 17:46
  you were chosen by God
• 17:47
  before creation.
• 17:49
  Ephesians chapter 1 and verse 4 says,
• 17:51
  God chose us in Christ
• 17:52
  before the foundation of the world.
• 17:55
  Number three,
• 17:56
  In Christ Jesus,
• 17:57
  you are loved by God
• 17:58
  with an inseparable love.
• 18:01
  Romans chapter 8,
• 18:02
  verse 38 and 39.
• 18:03
  I am sure that neither death
• 18:05
  nor life
• 18:06
  nor angels
• 18:07
  nor rulers
• 18:07
  nor things present
• 18:08
  nor things to come
• 18:10
  nor powers
• 18:11
  nor height
• 18:11
  nor depth
• 18:12
  nor anything else
• 18:13
  in all creation.
• 18:15
  And you know I like to insert here,
• 18:17
  including myself
• 18:18
  will be able to separate us
• 18:20
  from the love of God
• 18:21
  in Christ Jesus,
• 18:22
  our Lord.
• 18:24
  Number four,
• 18:25
  In Christ Jesus,
• 18:26
  you were redeemed
• 18:27
  and forgiven
• 18:28
  for all your sins.
• 18:29
  Ephesians chapter 1 and verse 7,
• 18:31
  In Christ we have redemption
• 18:32
  through his blood,
• 18:34
  the forgiveness
• 18:34
  of our trespasses.
• 18:36
  Number five,
• 18:37
  In Christ Jesus,
• 18:38
  you are justified before God
• 18:39
  and the righteousness of God
• 18:41
  in Christ is imputed
• 18:42
  or given to you.
• 18:45
  2 Corinthians chapter 5,
• 18:46
  verse 21,
• 18:47
  For our sake,
• 18:48
  God made Christ to be sin
• 18:50
  who knew no sin
• 18:51
  so that in him
• 18:53
  we might become
• 18:54
  the righteousness of God.
• 18:56
  Number six,
• 18:57
  In Christ Jesus,
• 18:58
  you have become
• 18:58
  a new creation
• 19:00
  and a son of God.
• 19:02
  Ladies,
• 19:02
  you want to be sons
• 19:03
  for the inheritance
• 19:04
  that sons receive.
• 19:06
  2 Corinthians chapter 5
• 19:07
  and verse 17,
• 19:09
  If anyone is in Christ,
• 19:10
  he is a new creation.
• 19:11
  The old has passed away.
• 19:13
  Behold,
• 19:14
  the new has come.
• 19:15
  In Galatians chapter 3
• 19:16
  and verse 26,
• 19:18
  In Christ Jesus,
• 19:19
  you are all sons of God
• 19:20
  through faith.
• 19:22
  Number seven,
• 19:23
  In Christ Jesus,
• 19:25
  you have been seated
• 19:25
  in the heavenly places
• 19:26
  even while he lived
• 19:28
  on earth.
• 19:29
  Ephesians chapter 2
• 19:31
  and verse 6,
• 19:32
  God raised us up
• 19:33
  with Christ
• 19:34
  and seated us
• 19:35
  with him
• 19:35
  in the heavenly places
• 19:36
  in Christ Jesus.
• 19:39
  Number eight,
• 19:40
  In Christ Jesus,
• 19:41
  all the promises of God
• 19:43
  are yes for you.
• 19:45
  2 Corinthians chapter 1
• 19:46
  and verse 20,
• 19:47
  All the promises of God
• 19:49
  find their yes
• 19:50
  in Christ.
• 19:52
  Number nine,
• 19:53
  In Christ Jesus,
• 19:54
  you are being sanctified
• 19:55
  and made holy.
• 19:56
  1 Corinthians chapter 1
• 19:58
  and verse 2,
• 19:59
  To the church of God
• 20:00
  that is in Corinth
• 20:01
  to those who are sanctified
• 20:03
  in Christ Jesus.
• 20:06
  Number ten,
• 20:07
  In Christ Jesus,
• 20:08
  everything you really need
• 20:10
  will be supplied.
• 20:11
  Philippians chapter 4
• 20:12
  and verse 19,
• 20:14
  My God will supply
• 20:15
  every need of yours
• 20:16
  according to his riches
• 20:17
  in glory
• 20:18
  in Christ Jesus.
• 20:20
  Number eleven,
• 20:21
  In Christ Jesus,
• 20:23
  the peace of God
• 20:24
  will guard your heart
• 20:25
  and mind.
• 20:26
  Philippians 4
• 20:27
  and verse 7,
• 20:28
  The peace of God
• 20:29
  which surpasses
• 20:30
  all understanding
• 20:31
  will guard your hearts
• 20:32
  and your minds
• 20:33
  in Christ Jesus.
• 20:35
  Number twelve,
• 20:37
  In Christ Jesus,
• 20:38
  you have eternal life.
• 20:40
  Romans 6
• 20:41
  and verse 23,
• 20:42
  For the wages of sin
• 20:43
  is death,
• 20:43
  but the free gift of God
• 20:45
  is eternal life
• 20:45
  in Christ Jesus,
• 20:47
  our Lord.
• 20:48
  And number thirteen,
• 20:49
  And in Christ Jesus
• 20:51
  you will be raised
• 20:52
  from the dead
• 20:52
  at the coming of the Lord.
• 20:54
  First Corinthians chapter 15
• 20:56
  and verse 22,
• 20:57
  For is as in Adam
• 20:59
  all died,
• 21:00
  so also in Christ
• 21:01
  shall all be made alive.
• 21:03
  All those united to Adam
• 21:05
  in the first humanity
• 21:07
  die.
• 21:08
  All those united to Christ
• 21:10
  in the new humanity
• 21:11
  rise to live again.
• 21:14
  If you are in Christ
• 21:16
  this morning,
• 21:17
  you have such reason
• 21:19
  to praise God
• 21:21
  and to pursue
• 21:22
  holy living.
• 21:23
  Right?
• 21:24
  Our holiness hinges
• 21:26
  on being found in Christ,
• 21:28
  being declared holy,
• 21:30
  and then praising Him rightly
• 21:32
  for who we are
• 21:34
  in Him.
• 21:36
  It's important for us
• 21:37
  to recognize that
• 21:38
  as we are being sanctified,
• 21:40
  we are merely becoming
• 21:42
  more who we've been
• 21:44
  declared to be.
• 21:45
  God has declared us
• 21:48
  righteous in Christ.
• 21:50
  God has said
• 21:51
  there is no
• 21:52
  condemnation.
• 21:53
  Right?
• 21:54
  We're bringing our lives
• 21:55
  into conformity
• 21:57
  with that reality
• 21:58
  as we pursue
• 22:00
  holiness.
• 22:01
  Right?
• 22:02
  We know this will take
• 22:03
  a lifetime.
• 22:04
  All of us will join
• 22:05
  with Paul
• 22:06
  at the end
• 22:06
  of chapter 7.
• 22:08
  We will all feel
• 22:09
  the anguish
• 22:11
  of that tearing
• 22:12
  between us.
• 22:13
  Right?
• 22:14
  Wretched man
• 22:14
  that I am.
• 22:16
  I hope at the same time
• 22:18
  we can all say,
• 22:20
  but there is no
• 22:21
  condemnation
• 22:22
  for me
• 22:23
  because I am
• 22:24
  in Christ.
• 22:25
  And because of that
• 22:26
  we will be motivated
• 22:28
  to once again
• 22:28
  pick ourselves up.
• 22:30
  Right?
• 22:30
  To run hard
• 22:32
  after the way
• 22:33
  of Jesus.
• 22:35
  Beloved,
• 22:35
  you have been set free
• 22:37
  from the law
• 22:38
  of sin
• 22:39
  and death.
• 22:40
  You do not
• 22:41
  have to do it
• 22:42
  any longer.
• 22:44
  You have been
• 22:45
  empowered
• 22:45
  in Christ
• 22:47
  to pursue
• 22:48
  him.
• 22:50
  I hope you're
• 22:51
  reminded this morning
• 22:52
  as you struggle
• 22:53
  with sin,
• 22:53
  as you struggle
• 22:55
  against your flesh,
• 22:57
  that there is
• 22:57
  therefore now
• 22:57
  no condemnation
• 22:58
  for those
• 22:59
  who are in Christ
• 23:00
  Jesus.
• 23:01
  For the law
• 23:02
  of the spirit
• 23:02
  of life
• 23:03
  has set you
• 23:04
  free
• 23:04
  in Christ
• 23:05
  Jesus
• 23:05
  from the law
• 23:07
  of sin
• 23:08
  and death.
