We slide into Romans 8, which is just a continuation of what the apostle Paul has been discussing in Chapter 7! Its been a few weeks, so I need to remind you we will be in the “Power Plant” — where we discover the power source for living the Christian life?! Well, we KNOW it is not in our own power to live a life pleasing to God — that was the topic of Ch 7 that ends with Paul declaring what a wretched man he was! As the song states, it was amazing grace that saved a wretch like me.

While chapter 7 was filled with “me” and “I”, chapter 8 mentions the Spirit no less than 25 times! Almost without fail, Romans 8 is recognized to reveal the most important and necessary truths for living the “normal” Christian life! It is “LIFE IN THE SPIRIT”! What does that even mean? Do I have that? How does it look?

So to whet your whistle, I will ask you a question. Is it necessary for us to obey the speed limit? Stop at red lights? Absolutely! It's the law, and breaking it will cost you! But, then why do emergency vehicles get to be exempt? There must be another law that frees them from obeying the first law! RIGHT! Well….what does that have to do with me and Romans 8??? Everything… and the key to your Christian life! No, you don’t need anything new, you just need to know what you already have!

If this seems a little vague and mysterious… it's meant to be! Find out how to be exempt from the law of sin and death! No condemnation, no punishment, no death! That sounds pretty important! How? Not by religious rules and rituals! How? Play the video to see.
