No condemnation
Sinful Free from law of sin and death
Condemned Ransomed
Minds on flesh Minds on Spirit
Death Life and peace
Hostile to God Belongs to God
Unable to obey God dwells within
Not pleasing to God (implied that we can please God)
Body dead due to sin Spirit alive due to righteousness
(receive death) Will receive life through the Spirit
Must die Will live
(led by flesh and sin) Led by God, Children of God
Spirit of slavery and fear Spirit of adoption with a Daddy
Spirit confirming adoption
as children...which is
being an heir of God (new meaning to being in
God's will)
which is being a joint-heir
with God's Son - Jesus
Suffering now/Incomparable glory
to come
Foreknew, predestined, called,
justified, glorified
God is for us
Christ intercedes for us Inseparable from Christ's love
Overwhelming conquerors
I don't know about anyone else; but I vote the Law of the Spirit and Life. Only God could and would think like that!
The benefits are so huge; but after what He has done for us, why would He skimp on the rest? In light of what He has done for me, why would I skimp on my devotion to Him?
God-Daddy, I thank You that I am not in trouble with You anymore and that You have freed me from the slave-shackles of sin and death. I praise You for I am in Your exclusive jurisdiction where You have already paid for all of the cost of my criminal acts. Just saying this reiterates that there is nothing I could have done to make this happen...only by Your power and wisdom. Thank You so much. Help me live in response to this Cinderella story where I went from being a sin-choked slave on death-row to being a princess of the King of the Universe. You are so generous and gentle. Help me to never behave like I am in trouble with You...help me to live that way and to share my status with others...just as You have told me to do. Help me to live the inseparable, incomparable life You have provided.
