*Tape #8125*
*Pastor Chuck Smith*
Romans chapter eight.
It actually begins the thought process here back in verse 22 of chapter seven, “For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
25I 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.”  /There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, / What a wonderful, glorious, liberating, verse that is!  Later on this chapter, Paul is going to ask the question, “Who is he who condemns?”
And he is going to answer that question by declaring, who isn’t condemning.
“Who is who condemns?
It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”
Christ is interceding on our behalf.
Interceding for us, He can’t be condemning us.
You would never hire a lawyer who would tell the judge what a rat you are.
You want him to tell how wonderful you are and all of the wonderful things.
Maybe you slipped up, you know, but it  wasn’t really in your heart because you are really a very marvelous person.
You like someone to present you in good light and not in bad light.
Who is he who condemns?
So he points out that it isn’t Christ who is condemning you.
Who is it then who condemns?
When Satan is cast out of heaven, the angels declare (Revelation 8:13, 12:9-10), “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth. . .
for Satan the dragon, who has accused the saints day and night before God, is cast to the earth.
Satan is the accuser!
Satan is the one who condemns the child of God.
He pounces upon every weakness.
He pounces upon every failure.
He uses that as a soapbox to condemn you.
But “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus!”
When Jesus was talking to Nicodemus about the necessity of a spiritual birth, if you are to enter the kingdom of heaven, you’ve got to be born again.
When Nicodemus asked concerning the process, how it could be?  Jesus answered as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.
That whosoever  believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
So  the answer to, how it is to be born again, is by believing in Jesus.
For then Jesus went on to repeat that only in a little different way.
He said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
I need to see Christ on the cross for my sin.
I need to believe that His death on the cross, paid in full the penalty and the guilt that was mine for my sin.
You remember the story of Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilderness.
It was a type.
It was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ.
The serpent was made out of brass.
Brass, is biblically, a symbol of judgment.
The serpent is of course, the symbol of sin.
The people had sinned against the Lord.
The judgment of God had come into the camp of Israel.
People were dying.
Serpents, deadly serpents, were striking the people and they were dying.
And Moses cried unto the Lord.
The Lord told him to make  this serpent of brass.
Put it on a pole in the center of the camp.
And it shall come to pass whenever a person is bitten by one of these serpents, if they will look at brass serpent on the pole, they will not die.
They had to see that God had judged their sin.
What was happening was a judgment for their sin, but there was this symbol of sin being judged on that cross, on that pole in the center of the camp.
And so as Moses lifted up that serpent in the wilderness, so much the Son of Man, taking our sin.
Our sins were judged there at the cross.
And thus, we by faith, look to Jesus Christ there on the cross, dying for our sin.
For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him.
And thus the emphasis again, believing in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
There is therefore now condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
Jesus was saying that God didn’t send Me into the world to condemn the world.
He sent Me into the world to save the world!
We read that God is not willing any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
For that purpose He send His Son to bring salvation.
That whosoever believes in Him.
Jesus said that if you don’t believe in Him, you are condemned already!
The law has condemned you.
But there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
You remember the story told in John’s gospel of the woman (John 8:3-11), that was brought by the Pharisees to Jesus, who was caught in the very act of adultery.
And they said our law said we are to stone her.
What do You say?
And you remember the response of Jesus was, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”
Then as He wrote on the ground, they began to depart from the oldest to the youngest, until finally Jesus stood up and they were all gone.
He said, “Woman where are those accuser of yours?”
Has no one condemned you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
You see, He didn’t come to condemn.
He came to save.
So often we feel condemnation and we think that it’s the Lord.
The Lord convicts.
He doesn’t condemn.
Satan is the one who condemns.
There is therefore no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, /who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
/In the beginning, God!
One sovereign, holy, infinite, God!  God began to create, invisible and visible things.
He created the world of the spirit, the angels, invisible to man.
He created the universe, the material universe.
He created man and placed him here on the planet we call Earth.
But in the beginning when there was just God, and the government of God, all of the created beings within the universe were subject unto God.
There was only one government.
And that was the government of God.
It was the government of light and life.
But sometime in the eons of time, one of these created beings of God, of the cherub class, rebelled against the authority of God, seeking to exalt himself against God.
And there was formed then a second government in the universe.
A government in rebellion against God's government.
A government of death and darkness.
So when Adam was created and placed upon the planet, Earth, he was created within the government of God, living in fellowship and harmony with God.
