Romans 8:2

Free from Indwelling Sin

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, ^awho do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 For ^athe law of ^bthe Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from ^cthe law of sin and death.

3 For ^awhat the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, ^bGod did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who ^ado not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 For ^athose who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, ^bthe things of the Spirit.

6 For ^ato be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:2-4

Beginning to see a progression here? We are freed from the law of sin and death. We are given life. This is accomplished through the blood of Jesus Christ. What is the reason? The reason is that the righteous requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us. Now again think of the analogy, Exodus through Deuteronomy. Was the righteous requirement of the law fulfilled in the Israelites? No it was not. They sinned so frequently while they were in the wilderness. Did they really understand what they did? No. We can look in Deuteronomy 29 and find out that God did not give them an understanding heart that they might go on from what God's purpose was. So we have been given the opportunity to do what the Israelites did not do.
