ADDRESSING
THE SAVED
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
IN CHRIST
Romans 12:4-5 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same
office: 5 So we, being [the] many (who
have been called unto his kingdom and glory), are one body (of many)
in Christ, and every one members one
of another.
NO
CONDEMNATION NOW
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
THERE WILL BE CONDEMNATION
Hebrews 10:30c-31 . .
. The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It
is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of the living God.
THEREFORE
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
STRUGGLE
WITH EVIL
Romans 7:19-22 For the good that I would I do not: but the
evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I
find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For
I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
STRUGGLE
WITH SIN
Romans 7:24-25 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver
me from the body of this death? 25 I
thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself
serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
VICTORY
THROUGH CHRIST
1 Corinthians
15:57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth [present active
participle, (now, not future)] us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
NOW
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now [present, v. 18; primary
particle of present time] no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
PRESENT,
NOW
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present [now, primary
particle of present time] time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed
in us.
NO
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no [emphatic ‘no’ in compound, “not
even one”] condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
NOTHING
1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing [not even one thing] into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing [part of the compound] out.
CONDEMNATION
(only
3 times)
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
SENTENCE
OF JUDGMENT
Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the
free gift is of many offences unto justification.
SENTENCE
UPON ALL MEN
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; (the consequences of sin) even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification
of life.
CONDEMNATION
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
JUDGMENT
Hebrews 10:30 . . . The Lord shall judge his people.
JUDGMENT SEAT
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one
may receive (our commendation or
condemnation) the things done in his body, according to that
he hath done, whether it be good
or bad.
TO
RECEIVED FOR . . .
Colossians 3:23-25 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as
to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But
he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath
done: and there is no respect of persons.
REWARD
OR LOSS
1 Corinthians
3:13-15 Every man's work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what
sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If
any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer
loss: but he himself shall be saved;
yet so as by fire.
CHRIST
IS A PRIEST NOT A JUDGE
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth [present active]? It is Christ that died,
yea rather, that is risen (high
priest and not a judge) again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession [present
active] for us.
JUDGE
OURSELVES
1 Corinthians
11:31-32 For if we would judge ourselves,
we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
JUDGING
OURSELVES
1 John 1:7-2:1 But if we walk in the light (the light judges our walk), as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
from all sin. 8 If
we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. 9
If we confess our sins (admitting guilt), he is faithful and just to forgive (promise
of pardon) us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If
we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us. 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And
if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
JUDGED BUT NOT CONDEMNED
Hebrews 12:5-7 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as
unto children, My son, despise not
thou the chastening of the Lord, nor
faint when thou art rebuked of
him: 6
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son
whom he receiveth. 7 If ye
endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he
whom the father chasteneth not?
AS
MANY AS I LOVE
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
