Jesus Christ accomplishes for us what we could never do, removing our condemnation and granting us His righteousness. Through faith in Him alone, we stand fully accepted before God, and the Holy Spirit then leads us into genuine, joyful obedience.

In our series through Romans, we’ve now arrived at Romans 8:1–4, but first, we recall how Paul began in Romans 1:1–6, 15—eager to preach the gospel he calls the very power of God. Why such enthusiasm? Because from Romans 1 through Romans 8, Paul unfolds the core of what this good news truly is: humankind’s universal sin, God’s provision of righteousness in Christ, and the Holy Spirit’s power to break sin’s hold. This week, we spotlight Paul’s crescendo in Romans 8:1–4—there is no condemnation for those in Christ, for Jesus accomplishes what we could never do, and the Spirit now leads us to genuine obedience.
