Romans 8:1

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-11

Romans 8:1-11 In the verses before us three points are touched on regarding the gospel as God's power to sanctify. These are: (1) The preliminary work which had to be done by the coming of Christ, or the basis laid in the life and death of our Lord with a view to our being sanctified.
