Romans 8:1-17

Ken and Steve dive into Romans 8:1-17, exploring the profound contrast between living according to the flesh versus living by the Spirit, and what it means to be free from condemnation through Christ Jesus.

• The chapter begins with "no condemnation" for those in Christ Jesus
• Living by the flesh versus living by the Spirit is a daily choice we must make
• Christ came in the likeness of sinful flesh but remained sinless
• Our sinful nature remains with us throughout life, but we can choose not to be ruled by it
• Different seasons of life bring different temptations and struggles
• As believers, we have an obligation to live by the Spirit
• The Spirit brings adoption to sonship, allowing us to call God "Abba, Father"
• Being co-heirs with Christ means sharing both in his sufferings and his glory
• True suffering for Christ comes from carrying the gospel, not from consequences of our own choices
