Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 8:1

DISCOURSE: 1856THE PRIVILEGE OF TRUE CHRISTIANSRomans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.TO establish that fundamental doctrine of our religion, the doctrine of justification by faith alone, is the main scope of this epistle. Having argued the point, and shewn that the objection of its encouraging men to sin, is without any real foundation, the Apostle sums up the whole in the words before us; and... read more

DISCOURSE: 1857THE GOSPEL FREES MEN FROM SIN AND DEATHRomans 8:2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.THE world in general account it liberty to give loose to their passions. But such freedom is indeed the sorest bondage to sin and Satan [Note: Romans 6:16.]. None possess true liberty but those who are freed by Christ [Note: John 8:36.].

The first four verses of this chapter belong to the preseding one, and deduce the just conclusions therefrom, that the state of fallen man is a state of condemnation and legal bondage that he cannot extricate himself by any unavailing efforts of legal obedience that God has done for us by Jesus Christ what we could not do for ourselves that this liberation is obtained by union with Christ, which exempts us from condemnation and that those who are thus united to him, walk not after the flesh,... read more
