Title: The Joy of Being Free in Christ Jesus

Text:

Romans 8:1-2 (HCSB)
¹ Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,
² because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

Observation:

The most important question you will ever answer is this; Am I in Christ Jesus, has the son of God set me free?

Paul gives us help in knowing whether or not we are in Christ Jesus. Think about this.

Romans 8:9 (HCSB)
⁹ You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

Romans 8:11 (HCSB)
¹¹ And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.

There may be groans in your present, but there is glory in your future if you are a blood bought child of God.

Romans 8:18 (HCSB)
¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.

Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, the sweetest words that any ear can hear is the word of God that speaks to the children of God, and says "You are not guilty". Oh, how I love Jesus because He first loved me. Isn't God's grace so amazing?  And all God's children said, Amen.

--

Acts 6:4 (KJV)
⁴ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
