Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Romans 8:3, “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:”

The content of the law of the Spirit is marvelous.

The reason I am not condemned over sin in the flesh is that God already condemned it in His Son.

There are not two condemnations–one laid to His charge and then another laid to mine.

In Romans 8:1 there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, because sin in the flesh was condemned in Him.

God condemned sin in the flesh.

The judgment for sin was upon Christ.

It is not upon us.

The debt cannot be paid twice.

The debt is paid only once.

Christ paid the debt.

I am not going to pay it again.

I am simply going to be on the receiving end and be filled with joy that the debt has been paid.

So watch how you react to paying debts in your inner life.

When you are condemned, if you feel like you owe something to your good flesh, if you feel obligated to it, that is a clue that you are in the wrong realm.

For many years we may have been stuck in this realm, feeling obligated, relating to our religious flesh in this way.

We may not have related to ourselves in the realm of the Spirit.

Notice, we are talking about realms here.

There are two different realms–two different sets of feelings, two different mind-sets, two different ways of relating and interacting.

Paul gives us a good description of these two realms in Romans 7 and 8.

The question is not how to rid myself of condemnation, but to ask, What realm do I live in–the flesh or the Spirit?
