Romans 8: 1-2

(Romans 8: 1-2) 『There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.』

 

Most church people say, "I believe in Jesus," but I think Law of wrath should not be abandoned. Most of the people in the Church say: Although Jesus Christ has fulfilled the law on the cross, we are no longer bound by the law of wrath, but we keep the law gladly and autonomously glad in faith, not forced or compulsory in faith. 『Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 』(Matthew 24:35)『 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 』(Matthew 5:17)

 

What is the law of God's wrath?『 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 』 (Psalm 19: 7). 『And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.』(Romans 7:10).

 

As a result, the law became a commandment that led to death. The law must give me life, but it has brought me to death. God's law is a perfect, impeccable commandment, but mankind is defective.『If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 』(Romans 7: 16-19)

 

The cause of death is because of sin in me. People say, "I can't fulfill the law," and so, they think as if there is something wrong with the law. he Apostle Paul describes the relationship between the law and sinful man. Paul is known as an expert in the law. Paul considered the righteous because he kept it under the law.

 

『The Apostle Paul describes the relationship between the law and sinful man. Paul is known as an expert in the law. Paul considered the righteous because he kept it under the law』 (Romans 7:9). When he was hard at law, he misunderstood that he was a righteous man.

 

But when he realized what the law was (through the commandments), "sin lived and I died." When sin is revealed, he realizes that he is not a righteous man but a sinner who can only die. How would a legalist like the apostle Paul try to be justified on the basis of the law? we suppose that Paul lived fiercely against the law, but the apostle Paul confessed that if the law had not spoken, he would not have known his state of mind."

 

Jesus said in Matthew (15:11):『 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Had it not been for the provision of the law, "Do not covet your neighbor's possessions," The Apostle Paul would not have known that he had a coveted heart. The Apostle Paul realized it. The Apostle Paul thought, and realized that he had such a mind in him.

 

Since the greed is in the heart, greed drags him down and goes to the law. The law says, "Do not covet," but I coveted it as sin. The Apostle Paul thought of himself as "innocent," and when he immediately realized the law, he said, "I am a sinner bound by the unbreakable law under the law."

 

The Apostle Paul lamented, "Ohrah, I am in trouble; who shall deliver me from this body of death?" The Apostle Paul realized that he could not escape the law. When the apostle Paul realized what the law said, he realized that "I have no way to escape from it." But in that confession he is saying, "Thank you for our Lord Jesus Christ."

 

Many church people have tried to examine themselves legally and not to fall into sin, but if they do not confess that they cannot be perfect in legal standards, then the apostle Paul's confession will not be his confession. will be. Although I tried to live righteously before God and did my best, when I realized that I could not do it for myself, words like the apostle Paul's confession come to me.

 

When such a confession comes, God makes us realize, through Jesus Christ, the gospel of life freed from the law. The Apostle Paul realizes this and gives thanks before God. The book of Romans (chapters 7 and 8) explains, through his experience, that the Apostle realized that sin could never be justified by the law and was liberated by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Romans (chapters 7-8) explains how Jesus Christ saved all sinners in the world.

 

There are two conditions for God to save mankind under the law, that is, in sin. First, there is no defect in the law, but humans. The word "have a body" means "left God." The apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians, "When I am in my body, I am separated from the Lord." Say that leaving God is sin. As long as we have a body, sin is always with the body of man. If you try to get rid of sin in the flesh, the body of sin dies and born again into the body of the spirit.

 

In Genesis, Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When God drove them out of the Garden of Eden, angels guarded the Garden of Eden with flameblades that walked the way of the tree of life. In order to eat the fruit of the tree of life, they must pass through flameblades and angels. The body of sin must die. The body of sin must be buried with Jesus Christ in order to die. The death of the body of sin is the death of the old man (evil).

 

Second, Jesus Christ saves man, not just me. In Isaiah, God speaks about the Messiah. "Israel is scattered and destroyed, but it is a light thing to bring all the scattered Israel together and restore Israel. It is more important to bring salvation to the ends of the earth."

 

In Genesis (12: 1-3), God said to Abraham, "I will make you the source of the blessings of the world." After Jesus Christ came and took all the sins and insults of the world, now if Jesus just goes to the kingdom of God, all that Jesus has done will be lost. That is why Jesus must choose His disciples and send the Holy Spirit to preach and witness it. All the people of the world should be saved, What is my role?

 

God told the Saints to preach the gospel as a way of evangelism as a way of salvation. God gave the Saints the gospel of Jesus Christ in a foolish way of evangelism, but the human body is still unstable.

 

Although he was born of the spirit body, he has a body, so he fights sin daily. The apostle Paul explains in Romans (8: 1): There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Although he has a physical body, God makes this sure promise to the saints who are born again into the spirit body.
