for by the law [is] the
knowledge of sin."

7. Three Thoughts on "Therefore"
A. The power of 'therefore' is POWERFUL
B. The power of 'therefore' is PERSONAL
C. The Power of ‘therefore' is a PERSON
8. It is neither a future promise that we wait

complete.
II THE PRINCIPLE OF "NOW NO CONDEMNATION"
9. Three Thoughts on “Now No Condemnation”
1. Now no condemnation because of
'passing away’.
2. Now no condemnation because of the
privilege.
3. Now no condemnation because of the
position.
11. “It is precarious to call any one chapter of the Bible ‘the
greatest chapter’ because the entire Bible is great. It is
God’s Word. Nevertheless, there is a sense in which the
eighth chapter of Romans is even superlatively great.
These thirty-nine verses begin with ‘no condemnation’
and end with ‘no separation,’ while in between there is
‘no defeat.” One must imagine that the Bible is a ring
and the book of Romans its precious stone. Chapter 8
would be the sparkling point of the jewel.”

12. "In Christ Jesus" is the bookend of Romans 8
(vs. 1 and vs. 39).
It is the "Made in Christ Jesus" that meets
God's approval.
