Romans 8:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:4

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.

7 Because ^athe carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^bnor indeed can be.

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:4-6

Do you understand what Paul is saying here? He's saying that the problem with the Old Covenant (not just Israel and Egypt) was not in the covenant. The problem was in the people. It was weak through the flesh. The problem (reading through the context of Romans 7 and 8) was in the mind. They weren't converted. It's as simple as that.

The problem under the Old Covenant was the way the people thought. They thought the way they did because they were missing elements vital to God's way. One was the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:3-9

Verse 9 is the key. Christ will only dwell in those called now to live as He lives in both the letter and the spirit of the law of God. Those who are set apart, who are holy (as Ted talked about). This is a precious treasure.
