Romans 8:1-5
1Therefore, 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 free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin
offering. 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.
Reflection
Our scripture today shows us the great work of God in
Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Holy Spirit continues to remind us (bear witness) to the fact that God loved us so much to cancel our debt and this reminder should shape how we live. The scripture here calls this ‘living in the Spirit’ what does that mean to you?
