Day 179, June 28 - Romans 8

Click here for today's reading

1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.


38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  1. Romans 8
    3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.

    6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

    10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.

    26-27 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.

    37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

    39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
