Romans 8:1- There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.

Romans chapter 7 outlined the condemnation that existed under the Law revealing a powerless and guilty condition against sin. The condemnation, or death sentence, came as a result of the disobedience and rebellion of Adam (Gen 2:17; 3:7, 24; Romans 5:12-21). This condemnation has come upon all mankind whether they are Jew or Gentile (John 3:18). The only possibility of being set free from the condemnation is to be made a new creation in Christ Jesus. The old man that possessed the death sentence and was subject to the rule of sin and death is destroyed, and the new creation is raised up in Christ Jesus so that we may walk in the nature and dominion of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:4-6). Those who would desperately hang on to any dimension of the Law for justification were foolish because the Law was powerless to set anyone free from Adam's transgression and the rule of sin and death that passed to all mankind. In Christ Jesus we have so radically been changed and accepted in Christ Jesus that condemnation has no place for those who live the life of the Spirit.
