Romans 8: No Condemnation

Romans 8 has to be one of my favorite chapters of the entire Bible. Why? It’s opening words:

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Why not? Jesus sets us free from sin and death (verses 2-3). Then, after a full chapter of commentary on the topic, Paul concludes with the powerful words:

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

That’s extremely comprehensive! Nothing, absolutely nothing, can remove us from God’s love. Once we become his child, we are forever part of his new family. There is now no condemnation.
