The Glorious Freedom of Son's of God

Commentary Roman Chapter Eight

The book of Romans

Chapter 8

*Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}

There can be on condemnation where there is no law found too judge us, law condemns, judges, and convicts a person of wrong doing, In this case it would be the Old Law given to Moses, which condemns us as sinners. The apostle Paul is not stating that when a person breaks the law they are then a sinner, no!

Paul is saying the law convicts us as sinners rather we keep some of it or not. Walking in the Spirit, in this case mean being in Christ Jesus, it is in Christ Jesus we have no sin, what does that mean? It mean exactly that, Christ Jesus has no judgment against him by law of sin, that is, there is no laws of sin on earth that can convict Jesus Christ of sin. In fact, not even the righteous Law given to Moses convicted Christ Jesus of sin.

When we walk in the flesh, in this case it would mean were not in Christ Jesus and sinning according to our fleshly desire, we are judged, and no longer in the Spirit of God under the royal law of love. In this state we as children of God, will be judged by our own ways, and our own judgments, by human laws, or peoples judgments, but not the Old Law of sin, but why? Simply put, the Old Law was removed or completed in the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, which means God does not removed His undeserved kindness in Christ Jesus each time we sin.
1
God does not once again bring back the Old Law nullifying the gift of Christ Jesus life in removing the Old Law.

Hebrews 7:27 who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

Micah 7:19 He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Let no Christian be fooled here, we cannot as Christian's stop sinning, but the law has been removed against us, which convicts us of sinning. How has it been removed? By the fact, we are a part of Christ Jesus as a body member, this membership in Christ Jesus is a spiritual membership governed by a spiritual law of love. But daily we fall short in sin, our sins proves to be a refinement of our spirit in Christ Jesus, perfecting our faith in God.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

*Rom.8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Let us define the law of sin and death, its scope is much larger then most Christian's have defined it in their doctrines. Paul in this case refers to the Old Law given to Moses, but sins law are applied to any law we judge by for controlling sins of the flesh. In Jesus Christ, there is no sins of the flesh, while he was on earth, and certainly not in heaven where he is found to gained immortal, and incorruptible life.

Christ Jesus set us free from sins laws, in this case free, means, freedom from being judged by the laws of sins, but what does this mean? It means as previous stated, Christ Jesus completed the Old Law by his perfect life dying and being made alive once again in the spirit world. The contract of the Old law was sealed by his blood and removed or set aside.
2
Furthermore, Christ Jesus replaced it with the New contract or Covenant created by his own righteousness under the Old Law, which he exceeded it (the Old Law) in his love for his Father.

Jesus then can rightly be called the law of the Spirit of life, but why? Because Christ Jesus is a “living law”, he lives and is the law of love, for us, and in us. The Old Law, or any law of sin, are dead law, or dead works, they do not live in us or produce life, they cannot judge and condemn us as being in the state of death, of (not in Christ Jesus). Whereas, Christ Jesus being alive in the spirit as life lives, and governors the lives of Christian's by the Royal law of love, that is, he being in them through God's Holy Spirit, making us a living faith onto the glory of God.

1 Peter 2:5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 10:20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.

*Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.

God's Law was perfect and righteous, but when it was applied to our fallen sinful flesh it served to expose us as law breakers and sinners. The Law despite what many Christian's and Jews believe did not strengthen the flesh into not being a sinner, no!

And because of this, God sent His only begotten Son into our world as flesh, it was his flesh that perfected the Law, it was Christ Jesus that took our place and completed the Law. Christ Jesus was the only flesh ever born on earth of God that had the power of not sinning in his flesh. Although Christ Jesus carried the sins of others they were not his sins, and that is the reason Paul's says he was made into the “likeness of sinful flesh”, but he was not sinful flesh, but why?

3

Simply put, the reward of living sinlessly under the Old Law was eternal life, the eternal life that Adam and Eve sin against. Christ Jesus was rewarded with eternal life for his faithfulness under the Old Law proving he was sinless in his flesh according to God's judgment by His own righteous Law. If this were not true, God would have shown favoritism perverting His judgment, which is impossible for God to do.

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Job 37:23 We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

Proverbs 17:23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.

But how did Christ Jesus condemn sin in the flesh, by putting it to death in his own faithful death, what does this mean? It means by Christ Jesus sinless life, he completed the Old Law, killing its power over sin judgment against the flesh, that is, by his own faithful flesh. Thus, God now gives the gift of Christ Jesus righteousness too us as body members of Christ. In his righteousness our own sin of flesh are dead because the power of the Old Law cannot judge them. Thus, our sins are put to death in Christ Jesus. And this is why Jesus is called God's love toward us, because of Jesus, we are without God's judgment by His righteous law, so Christ is our undeserved kindness, or as unmerited kindness show us in God's love

Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

*Rom. 8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

When we are a part of Jesus Christ spiritual body the law of sin is fulfilled in us, what does this mean?
4
It means simply that a hand or a foot on the body is filled with the life of the body as all parts of the body are. If Christ Jesus fulfilled the Old Law or sins laws, by being sinless, then our being a part of him we too are, sinless, or we can say, the law is fulfilled in us because we are in the body of Christ Jesus.

But if we walk according to our flesh we produce sin, the the law of sin judges us, but what does this mean? It does not mean, God brings back the Old Law and we are again judged by the Old law by God, no! Remember it is a completed contract, so it is our own judgments that befall us under sins laws, or that of some Governments law, for breaking the law of the land, but it is not God's judgment by the Old Law.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

God does not once again hold our sins against us, He does however let us suffer from our own conduct, what does this mean? It means, that when a person sees their own laws, or ways as better than God's law of love, or that they know better than God in their judgments, they have made themselves “a god”. They have choose to eat from the Tree of Good and Evil as Adam and Eve chose do the same, that is, in judging for themselves as it were, what is good and evil for their lives as a god.

These judgments for a child of God are plagues, that causes them much pain and discipline from their own hearts or from the sins of others. Just as the physical nation of Israel received for disobeying God righteous Law. In God's law, there were found, both blessings and malediction. Moreover, this is true of all laws created by human. We must remember as Christian's all false god's must be plagued by their own judgments, when we walk by sin law, making ourselves into a god, ours ways become plagues leading us into death and destruction.

5
After our discipline, and we come back to God's love in Christ Jesus in walking by Holy Spirit we then receive the blessings of God's love, and not condemnation of our ways. We learn to stop condemning others by sins laws, and we receive the good from the spiritual law of God's love.

Jeremiah 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

*Rom.8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

As a good tree cannot produce bad fruit neither can a bad tree produce good fruit, but what does this mean? It means we either walk by Spirit, or the flesh, flesh in this case means sinful flesh and its desires. One tree is life, that is, eternal life, in Jesus Christ, the other tree is death, which is the minding of the flesh.

But both trees do not exist in us at the same time, because a good tree cannot produce bad fruit. One tree of two trees life force puts to death the other tree. When this happens we are individually judged by our own actions good or bad. The tree of Christ Jesus requires faith to stay in God's love, while the tree of the flesh requires our choosing the law of sin and death to judge according to our ways judging ourselves and judging other by our ways, good or bad.

Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Gal.5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

But let us remember, no bad fruit tree can produce good fruit. We must be in Christ Jesus by our faith to produce good fruit, which is the fruits of God's Holy Spirit or life force of the good tree.
6
It is then the head of the tree Christ Jesus who produces the fruits on the tree by his life force given too us when we keep our minds set upon the Spirit of God.

Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness}
5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

However, the two trees cannot coexist in us at the same time, we either are in life, the life force of Christ Jesus, or in death, the life force of sin and laws producing dead works, but not both at the same time.

James 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

Rom.8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

When we mind, or cultivate the ground of sins law, we produce death, and judgment for ourselves and others, we plant sinful flesh, that is, the laws of the flesh, and we reap death from its fruit. But where we plant Spirit seeds of loves law, we reap the fruitage of the tree of life Jesus Christ.

Galatians 6:7 Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

This is the bases of our faith, faith in God's royal law of love Christ Jesus, removes the fruits of death, but how? Simply put, Christ Jesus death, and resurrection completed the law of sin, no longer, is Jesus under the law of sin, he conquered the world and all its laws by his faithful course to his Father Yahweh.

7
God then raised Christ Jesus into eternal spiritual life with Himself, Now in this form the law of sin and death no longer exist in his powerful immortal incorruptible spiritual life.

The only fruits that exist on Christ Jesus vines are spiritual fruits, produced by Royal law of love, which are the fruits of God's Holy Spirit. All things below upon earth has been conquered in Christ Jesus, where there is no death in those walking in Spirit, or in Christ Jesus the eternal life. But it is impossible to walk by Spirit under laws governing our sinful flesh, it cannot be done, nor can we please God in doing so, but why?

Because a good tree cannot produce bad fruit, Christ Jesus cannot once again be made into the likeness of sin for us, where the Old Law, needs once again to be fulfilled each day when we sin, no! The Law was completed once and for all times, we now must be in faith to taste the fruits of love that covers our sin in Christ Jesus, in which we have been grafted into by God's undeserved kindness.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Romans 3:26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

*Rom.8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Here Christian's must not read Paul's words with the idea of him speaking about the Old Law completed in Christ Jesus(read Rom.8:6) It is not the Old Law that is the subject here, it is the minding of our flesh that is control by sins law, which cannot be in subjection to God's law, which is the law of love. The Old Law is gone in Christ Jesus, and Christians are now a part of the body of Christ Jesus under Royal law love, so it is not the Old Law spoken here, so what is Paul speaking about in this verse?

He is repeating the fact that no good tree can produce bad fruit, it is that simply.
8
He is saying in Christ Jesus one cannot walk by sins laws, and produce the good fruits of Christ Jesus. Moreover, the works of the flesh cannot be in subjection to God's law, what is God's law in Christ Jesus? Well, let us recall that the Old Law is gone, so the only law left in Christ Jesus is the Royal law of love, which of course, we know, God is love.

Furthermore, let us recall that the works of the flesh are put too death in Christ Jesus, so there are not two tree growing here, but only one, and no matter what people say, laws of sin cannot be made to be submissive to God's law of love. There are no fruits of death on the tree of life.
Nor do they share each other for the good of both, they are hostel to each other. Christian's cannot walk in two laws and be in Christ Jesus, they may justify trying too do so by the flesh, or doctrines of the flesh, but truth says in Christ Jesus said: “ no good tree can bear bad fruit”. One lives the other dies, they are at war with each other, so it is up to us to choose which tree we partake from, but we cannot have both as Adam and Eve believed they could.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

*Rom.8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Faith is a fruit of God Holy Spirit and it is given to us when we walk in love, it is our trust in God's love that lets us please Him and come to know God as our heavenly Father. A rock does not commune with the wind, it may be made to moved by the wind, but it is never the wind, the two are opposed, the wind communes with the wind.

To commune with God we must walk in Spirit, we cannot walk by law written upon stone tablets, nor laws of our flesh which makes our heart like a rock. God is love, and He can only known Him by love, laws on stones are dead works, they do not produces love. They are night and day, in fact, they are hostel to each other, one has to be gone for the other to live.

9
When Christian's fall into judging by sins law, which, can mean all human laws of the flesh, instead of the Royal law of love, we become like a rock dropping from sky after wind storm to the ground. We are dead for all practical purposes to the wind of God's Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

We cannot please God by judgments of sins law, we cannot demand the justice where God set aside His own justice of Law to save us, and, hence, think we are walking in Spirit, which means nothing more than walking in love. No we cannot rule our lives by the flesh, and its laws and please the God of love who removed sins law in Christ Jesus for us.

*Rom.8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Two tree stand in the lives of humans, one tree is Christ Jesus, the other tree is sins law. For us to be in Christ Jesus we must worship in Spirit and truth, and walk according to love a spiritual fruit of the tree of Christ Jesus. But let none of us be fooled by sin laws, thinking we can eat from both trees and be a part of Christ Jesus.

Deception by sins law, means blinding oneself to the truth of God's love, where we deliberately chose to eat some from both tree thinking we can please God by our good intention in judging others by sins law, instead of love.

John 12:40 "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them."{Isaiah 6:10}

*Rom.8:10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

Here is the simplest truth of God's word, if there is no sin in Christ Jesus and we are grafted into him as part of the true tree, or vine we cannot have sin, but why? Simply put, the law judging sin was completed and removed in Christ Jesus death and resurrection, where there is no law too judge us for sinning, neither is there sin charged.

Romans 5:13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

This one point so confuses most Christian's, but it is the key to understand God, and their faith, without understanding this first stepping stone in their faith one cannot move down the narrow and cramped road into life. Although we sin God chooses by legal choice not to judge us with His righteous law, He choose rather to love us by the Royal law of love. In other words, God can legally block sight of our sinning in His love, God can put faith in His own love over punishing us by His law. God understand what we human cannot understand or practice, that is, we live in sin, and a flawed world. God knows that love cannot be gotten without, showing love. In other words, love waters love, love produce more love.

Law produce more law, death produce more death. Jesus Christ is life, he is the source of all life for the human race, but why is he the source of all life? Because he completed God righteous laws given to Moses, in completing it faithfully God rewarded him with the reward of the law, which is eternal life. If we could live perfectly under the Old Law its reward for us would be eternal life. Christ Jesus is the only man that every lived up to it, and was rewarded by God's law with eternal life.

Because Christ Jesus was the Son of Man, his eternal life saves the son's of men from death, but what death. The death sentence given from breaking God's laws. Now God can give the merit of Jesus Christ faithful life too us by our faith in him. Thus, we are saved in the righteousness of Christ Jesus, because it is given to us by being in Christ Jesus as a body member.

1Cor.1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Rom. 8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

The apostle Paul is not speaking of a future resurrection here, he is talking about a resurrection in our mortal bodies daily, through our sinning and killing the life of Christ Jesus in us. Sinning is death, but it is also darkness, darkness to Christian's is as important as the life of Christ Jesus in us, but why?

In darkness of Adam sin, that sometime we do willingly as mislead Christians, we find our growth, but how? Simply put, we are dead and faithless in sin, Christ then bring our life back through power of his eternal life given to us by God's love. This is a resurrection as real as our final resurrection we will receive at the physical death of our bodies on earth. Once we are back in life, we can spiritually comprehend the power of sin and our sinful thoughts. Which, lesson is that life does not come from sin, we now understand the power of being perfected in love. But moreover, we understand that this perfecting of love requires darkness until we are perfected in the light of God's love to us.

It is the Spirit that dwells in us that is the life, the same Spirit of Christ Jesus puts too death the sinful thoughts of our flesh, but it cannot be done without suffering in our flesh through darkness and light daily.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

Rom.8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

We cannot be debtors to our fallen flesh, because the life force of Jesus Christ in us has killed the law against our sinful flesh, for us to live in Christ Jesus the sins of our flesh must die. Here we must understand two things to get it correct. 1.) One, Christ Jesus killed the power of God's righteous law convicting us of sin, and 2.) Two, it is the minding of our sinful flesh that kills the Spirit of Christ in us.

The two are different, and we must not confused them as Christian's or we distorted the rest of God's word. One is the Old Law given to Moses, Jesus completed and killed the in his life blood, that is, it power over us as Christian's, condemning us. The other which Paul speak to here in this verse is our own judgment(s) by sins law, those sins we created by our own thoughts, and actions.

It is these judgments by sins law that now kill us, but how? They kill us too the life of Christ dwelling in us. It is these sinful thoughts that Christ will also bring into submission on every level that we might live in eternal life. It is these personal judgment(s) we collect as humans from training on all levels that kill our life in Christ Jesus. We are then rightfully being judged by our own thoughts, and not the Old Law, where these thought are self-inflicted discipline we are forced into fruits of Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 12:9 He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

1 Corinthians 6:12 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

Many Christian's have been turned away from the love of Christ because they received disciplined based upon the doctrine of a group. But in this discipline God's love, yes. He is allowing removal of those sinful dead works, where we experience the fruitage of false doctrine, and there eternal harm they have done to the human race, and our own ways.

Because these dead works are often taught us by parents, and others that we cherish, we blame God, but they were never saying of life founded upon the tree of life. If our God does not allow for this process, we can never live in truth, or love, and find Him.

Rom.8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Once again we must take Paul's words in context too all his writings or we miss the mark of truth and love. Paul is not speaking about the Law of Moses here, we as human can use the Old Law, giving it power by our conscious, but God does not judge us by it. So our judgment(s) by the Old Law removed and are powerless as to the children of God, our judgment become self-inflicted judgment(s). And this is why Jesus said; “stop judging and you will not be judged.”

Romans 14:4 Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.

But we as Christian's still have sin, it is the minding of this sin in us that produce death. We must die to this sin in-order to live in life of Christ Jesus. God's Word, Christ Jesus, is the living Word, that dwell in us as a children of God. When we kill the Words or life of Jesus Christ, the Spirit in us, it is because we dwell upon sinful thoughts of our flesh, hence, our standing again before God in Christ Jesus is his power over death, meaning, all laws of sin governing the flesh.

We cannot perfect ourselves from sin, which is impossible, however, we are sinless in the spiritual body of Christ Jesus, where God's Holy Spirit restores us by his love and forgiveness in Christ Jesus. This process, which the Old Law did not allow for, is our salvation in perfecting, and growing our faith through refinement and suffering in the Christ.

Moreover, this is why Christian's must have faith and not law, we cannot be perfected by rule of law, we can only be perfected by our faith in God's love. Which means, we must believe God's love covers our sins of minding the flesh, and it is according to His own will that He allows this process of life and death to work in our mortal bodies to bring all sinful thoughts of the human race into subjection of the Christ by the Law of love.

2 Corinthians 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
2 Corinthians 5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Rom.8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

It is by the death of sin that life in the Spirit comes to us, but it was by the death of God's Spirit in Adam and Eve that death spread into all the world. Death through sin has controlled the human race, and furthermore, some times it is because of the weakness of our own sinful flesh the power of death, conquers the Spirit of God in us so we can no longer walk by Holy Spirit. However, by our faith in these times we find Christ Jesus has power over death by his incorruptible life, which life force of in us conquers all death by sins laws we are found in.

2 Peter 1:3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;

The tree of good and evil has been conquered by the tree of life Jesus Christ. But the very fertile ground the tree of good and evil grows in flourish in our earth, which is sin and death. God through His divine wisdom will bring all thoughts of sin causing death to nothing in Jesus Christ.

Mankind cannot learn God's of love, without experiencing the darkness of sin, once we have done so we let go of our pride of sinful thoughts willingly, loving God's own love. In this manner all those loving God will find life. This process is the point of Paul's words, we human cannot contribute anything to this work accept our faith that it will be completed in us by God's own love.

2Cor.10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh; 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, 10:5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

It is in this darkness we encounter by our minding of the flesh that we grow into the a person of faith in love. When we walk in love, which is the Spirit of God and Christ Jesus we are God's children, we can only perfect our faith, by this process of being conquered by sins laws, and being renewed in the Spirit of God as His children.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

Rom.8:15 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"

Many Christian's groups have put the emphasis on the affectionate word Paul spoke here Abba, and it is important, but of far greater importance is why we can say Abba Father? We can say Abba to our Father Yahweh because He is love. And love put fear outside in darkness where it belongs, but what does that mean?

It means in love there is no fear of judgment for our sins by the Law of sins law, we have been set free from bondage of fear through breaking of them. We either as Christian's stand before a Judge, or a loving Father, by our faith. When we have God's Spirit its testifies with our own spirit we are God's Children, in this spirit of love we talk to our Papa in endearing terms; communing with Him in love, and affection, wanting to please Him because of our love for Him.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

Darkness is the opposite of light, God is light because He is love, darkness of sin is found in human being, which causes fear of judgment. The law convicts us of sin, and sinning against God's righteous standards, which creates fear in us of punishment from God. He than is no longer a loving Father that we freely approach in freedom from judgment. We rather are forced to confess our sin in fear, if we confess them at all, for fear of judgment?

However, far beyond our thinking, and the sinful hearts of men, God returns good for evil, by removing the law convicting us of our sins in Christ Jesus, thus, we receive the righteousness of Christ Jesus so we stand justified in his life. We now have no sin in God's eyes, because He removed the law convicting us of sin, we can now say Abba Father with out bondage, and fear of being rejected by Him because we fail short of the glory of God.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

Rom. 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.

God Spirit, the life of Christ Jesus, and our own spirit testifies as three witness to the truth of God's love in us that we are His children. This testimony is the life force of God's children, it is the only truth on earth for them, but why? For one, there is no greater testimony given among mankind, and 2.)two.

1John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

1John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son. 5:10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn't believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

It is because God's children are rejected by the world, and the world we live in is hostel to the Spirit of God in us, not only this we sin daily, and many children of God that sin believe they are condemned by religious doctrine of a faith they are associated with.

The power of their own conscience and sins law condemn them refusing to believe in the witness of truth in them by God's own Spirit that is truth.

1John 5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Forgetting, they are God's children not because they stop sinning, but because Christ Jesus righteousness was given too them in God's love. Christian's cannot stop sinning, they can divide sins up in better and worst sins, by sins law, but they cannot justify their sins in groupings them this manner. All sin is evil to God causing death, and that is why all are condemned by God's righteous law too death. God did not remove our sin, He removed the law convicting us of sin, how? By giving us the sinless life of Christ Jesus, which completed the Old Covenant.

No Christian's wants to displease God by sinning, but neither can they stop sinning unless they are in Christ Jesus righteousness, and if they are in Christ Jesus the Spirit of God bears witness with our own Spirit we are God's children without condemnation and judgment, even if our own hearts condemn us as sinner, this witness in us is greater than are hearts.

1John 3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 3:21 Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God.
Rather or not a Christian's can believe this does not matter, it is the truth of God's love, the truth of God's Spirit witnessing too us. This truth alone, is the only truth that saves us, we put faith in it, not in man's judgments of us, or our own. This is our faithful constant witness that conquers the world. and all sin in us. We learn through this witness God is good, and we are not, and it is His love, and His faith, alone which saves us in Christ Jesus.

Rom.7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. 7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death? 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.

Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

Christ Jesus suffered in his flesh, by the sin of others, and not his own, we as Christian's suffer by our own sins and those of others, but it is in this suffering our faith is perfected in God's love. If God had not removed the law we could not suffer in Christ Jesus we would only be condemned by our suffering in our sins.

2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

But because we are sinless in Christ Jesus life, God can than teach us love, instead of judging us by law. This process is reinforced to help us through it by God's Spirit bearing witness in our own that we are His Children and loved despite our sins. Our sins then become the thing forming us into compassionate merciful vessels for God's uses. It is our own darkness of sin that make our life in Christ Jesus grow, where we condemn even God at times, He blesses us with his love, where we give up God bears up in His love.

When we cannot look up, God gives us His love, in this suffering in sin we learn, the love of God, we learn His true personality, not one taught too us by a religion, but one formed in us in the life of Christ Jesus. We learn depth of God's love and mercy towards the human race, and we learn to forgive those sinning against us.

Romans 9:18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Romans 9:23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

Rom.8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

None of us like to suffer, but in Christ Jesus it is the process we must experience in our flesh, which war against the Spirit, we will suffer; without this suffering our faith cannot be perfected in love. Many Christian's have spent hours in thinking and talking about future suffering and persecution, but if we are in Christ Jesus, which is part of the process, our suffering each, and every day, and often, many times during the day, but why?

Persecution comes from outside of us because we carry the righteousness of Christ, this light the demons and the spirit world see; those in opposition to Christ Jesus attack on all levels of ones life, from work, family and friends. These attacks causes us sufferings, but we also suffer by our own sins, or minding of the flesh.

This suffering is found with us daily, the flesh is opposed to God's Spirit, in fact, it is at war with the Spirit. When the flesh wins and it often does , the Spirit is put to death causing us much suffering. Christ Jesus the wisdom of God comes to our aid, resurrecting us with the Spirit of God, where we once again walk in Spirit. This process forms us into the personality of Christ Jesus, and eventually transfers us completely into Christ Kingdom of love.

The world does not know this process, why? Because when people of the world change themselves, it is done through self-will, and not the will of God. Our process as Christian's is miraculous forming us into God's glory, and here is the context of Paul's words that our suffering in this manner is going to reveal the glory of God for His creation.

Heb.2:18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

Heb.5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
5:8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
5:9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

God from Adam fall into sin, set in motion the divine plan to redeem His Creation in love. This plans requires the removal of corruption from the creation, corruption of the creation means sin causing death to the human race. All that is produced from sin is corruption, no matter how grand the kingdom built by man's wisdom, it will end in death and corruption.

God's process in bring the creation out of corruption is to first bring His own children, from the state of sin into kingdom of Christ Jesus love. This process is what Paul was referring to in their suffering above. We as God's children cannot learn the power of sin without being put to death by our minding of sinful thoughts. It is the thoughts of mankind heart that created the world we live in, this world has been subjected to sins law since Adam sinned in the garden of Eden.

In our suffering through sins law, the Christ conquers the world of sins law in us, by his loving headship over us. Christ Jesus is master over God's household, he builds it into God's glory, in doing so, we are trained and disciplined through our suffering. This suffering set us free from corruption of our flesh, by the perfecting of our faith. Perfecting of our faith comes when we understand God's love, where we trust in Him and His perfect judgments for our lives.

In this we fully eat from the tree of eternal life, Jesus Christ while willingly turning our back in choosing for ourselves what is good and what is bad from the tree of sins law.

Rom.8:20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope.

When Adam and Eve sinned they were put out of the Garden of Eden, outside the Garden of God's love, there they found being god's were vanity, or corruption, and death. They did not become god's as Satan the Devil had stated, he was found to be a liar, and a slander. Adam and Eve both died spiritually on the that day, this did not mean they could not have spiritual thoughts about God and their own actions, it simply meant, they could no longer commune with a sinless God.

Thus, they were cut off from the source of their spiritual life, which meant that they also started dying physically. What they found was vanity in their own judgments of sin. Now instead of love, they would live in fear, creating laws in their minds and hearts to protect themselves from hurt of each others, and those that would be born into the world. They would have to be god's of their new hostel world; sickness, disease would come into their world as well, and finally all human beings would end up in death.

Ecclesiastes 2:17 So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Isaiah 40:17 All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

Their conscience would set up sin's laws, and a mismatch of judgments for various sinful acts would come about, some would be justice while others would be unjust, good and evil would be found in all their works and all their ways, the whole creation including the heavens in rebellion against God would be subjected by God to their own judgments of good and evil created by vanity.

Mankind, that is, all of us would have to see the actions of our own ways, in this conditions by comparison to God's loving rulership over Adam and Eve, which would have extended to all the human race, we are instead found in a curse. Yes, a curse of sin, and the things created from our sins, we receive the good and evil of our ways, the very ground in which we were created from is cursed with weeds and thistles that cannot produce eternal life in paradise with God.

This is the vanity of mankind, not the vanity of God, God did not subject the human race to His ways, He instead subjected us too our own ways, God did force His ways upon the first human couple, He gave them a choice. Mankind has from their creation and fall into sin forced the human race into all forms of government and religions by vanity making them do things against the human will. The earth has become filled with shadows of injustice, creating good and some evil, but God is always good with no shadows of vanity producing injustice that harms the human race.

Ezekiel 24:14 I, Yahweh, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord Yahweh.

By this subjection to vanity, God created the greatest hope for mankind, that they might each one choose with fully knowledge of good and evil, His ways of love. That without this understanding of vanity as god's they would never willing come to God's love. Moreover, the issue could never be justly resolved among the heavens and the earth. God did not scream as insecurity parents do, nagging a child into obeying their rules. God instead, let the first parents of the human race choose life or death. No amount of teaching, punishment or nagging would make mankind believe death is found in all their judgments. God letting sin enter into the world solved the issue of each person upsetting the entire source of life for the rest of the human race when one them chose death instead of life. In this manner God would extend to each person away into life, by faith in His love through Jesus Christ.

James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.

1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Rom. 8:21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

The whole of creation will be delivered from bondage of decay through the freedom or liberty of God's children, but how? Freedom or liberty is the free will to live in love, living in God's love is total freedom, freedom from death, freedom from sin, freedom from sickness and disease, but none of these freedom(s) will be had without first freedom from God's righteous judgment of sin.

John 8:36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

Adam and Eve from their own judgment caused sin to enter into the world, their judgments made them into god's, all god's other than the Almighty God Yahweh are vanity, none in their goodness or evil can produce what God created man to live in which is love. Man was created to live in God's love, in God's love, is the condition of life eternal. All man's judgments miss the mark of God's highest standard of love, which then produces sin and death.

Rom.3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
3:17 The way of peace, they haven't known."{Isaiah 59:7-8}

For mankind to fully comprehend God's standard of love, first and foremost God needed to show mankind that his good in him is actual evil/sin producing death. In other words, mankind judges according to his ways, when he did good, he would feel it was good enough to gain him everlasting life. This misjudgment would landed him at the start of sin and death by his first parents Adam and Eve. So God eventually gave mankind, that is, the nation of Israel, His righteous Law. God's righteous Law proved that mankind could not live up to God's high standards of being accounted sinless by his goodness, or good works. Sinless, means living in God's Royal law of love perfectly.

Although, we love as sinful humans we do not live in love perfectly, so we fail short of God's glory, which in turn produce death. Mankind has to be created new, for them to once again live in God's Royal love perfectly. God next step was creating mankind new, but to do this He must remove His righteous Law condemning us of sin, but the problem was that none of us could live sinless under the Law. So God sent to us, in the likeness of sinful humans, His only begotten Son Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus did live in, and under God's Law in love perfectly, by him living in God's love, he fulfilled the law, for the law's fulfillment is love. The next step God accounted Christ Jesus life, which is righteous, too us, but what does this mean? It mean by this accounting of Christ life to sinful humans they become new, new how? Their old life under sins law, and God righteous Law are dead in Jesus Christ, dead how? Dead because they are no longer judged as sinners, by God's righteous law, and sins law. When sin is not judged, it cannot come to life in God's eyes.

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

This new creation is free to live in God's love, without sin, because they have no law judging them as sinnners. Thus, they are new by being made a part of Christ Jesus spiritual body. So their new life is controlled by God's Royal Law when they walk in God's Spirit they are lead by the will of God. They stay in God's love, which is life, so they eat from the tree of life in the Garden of God's love, Jesus Christ.

13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

The tree of life is Jesus Christ, and it is the fruits of God's Spirit which produces the saying of everlasting life on it branches in fruits of the Spirit. These children of God or Son's of God, chose by faith to subject themselves again to God's love., They are not punished into, or nagged into eating from the tree of life. They willingly love God, and in turn they receive God's love in fruits of His Spirit which is eternal life.

But there is more, much more that Paul address in chapter eight of Romans, and that is the sufferings in Christ Jesus that set creation free from bondage of sin. The suffering God's children go through is what set free the rest of creation, they are just the first fruits of the Spirit. This is the last step in God's plan.

Living in God's love without judgment of sin causes the Son's of God much suffering on earth, but how, and why? It is the nature of sin that causes death, what does that mean, it means sin is lack of love, lack of love causes separation between God and man. God in His divine wisdom did not remove the Son's of God from sin on earth, He instead removed the laws condemning them as sinners. Now the son's of God taste and see the beauty of God's love. But their personal sins and those of others causes them a lack of love at times putting them into death, what kind of death. Death judged by sins law, in this death state, God still shows them love, and they are not judged by Him, but rather they are judged by their own judgments in sins laws.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Here is where they learn to set creation free from all thought of sins, within this suffering of getting back to the life of the Spirit through their faith they are perfected in their faith. It is the perfection of their faith in God's love, which will set creation free on all levels of sin, into the freedom of the Son's of God. In this condition of perfected love, from mankind vanity of judgments of good and evil, liberty of freedom from corruption will be found.

Rom.8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

Sin causes pain and no matter how wonderful we as humans can make things we find both good and evil in all are ways. We love our families, we do all we can for their happiness, and yet, we find pain, in our
misjudgments, where our good judgments are misunderstood by them. But if we could free ourselves from our bad judgments, what a wonderful world it would be.

Romans 14:17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

But instead the creation which we are a part of groans right down to every aspect of all living things, it is as though some sort of poison was introduced into the water and air we breathe, producing schizophrenia, where people do the most beautiful things towards mankind, and yet destroy their own families by lack of love. Where nations are helped in times of disasters and then destroyed by war. Where people live in wealth, and children die in the streets from poverty. All within our creation groan with pain, where the best is not good enough, where pride destroy life for a few moments of vanity to be known in history.

Yes, poison has been introduces into creation, the poison is sin and it is found in all parts of human life, from government to religion,where mankind's best acts only prove to be pain and death. But God has given hope by subjection of the creation into sin and the vanity of our sin. Through this process of suffering of the creation, life will be found, it is only in sufferings that life valuable lesson can be learned. God will not change the material environment without first dealing with the condition causing the problem. Where man deals with everything but the causes of the disease with operation and drugs, God eradicates the poison from us in love.

The eradication started thousands of years ago in the suffering of the Son's of God, it is almost finished, and then the creation will produces fruits of God's Spirit, setting it free into the freedom of the Son's of God once for all time into everlasting eternity.

Rev.21:3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away."

Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

Paul is saying that in our sinful flesh we under go death each day causing us groaning so that we wait upon the complete redemption of our bodies, but what does this mean, are we not redeemed in Christ Jesus? Yes, we are redeemed in Christ Jesus, if we stay in faith and believe in Christ Jesus we have eternal life, but we have not been redeemed completely from dead works of sins law in our bodies until God says it is finished, what does this mean?

It means, God has set in motion a process that is far bigger then any one person on earth. The process that will set creation free comes from the suffering of His Children in their sinful bodies while living on earth. When their faith is perfected in love then God has finished His workings in them and the bodies of sin will have been completed, or redeemed. This does not mean in light of all Paul other writings that their bodies will be taken into heaven with them. It simply means the workings of our sinful bodies have been completed for God's purposes. The spiritual life of a new creation or God's child can than be transferred into the spiritual heavens to take up what ever type of body God chooses to give them.

1Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

The process of suffering is greater than the person, it is the suffering God allows that set free His creation. God has given each of His children sinless life in Christ Jesus, from the moment they accepted Christ. Rather they suffer a long time in the flesh or a little in the flesh, does not matter in the reward of life which has already been given them in Christ Jesus.

It is the glory of suffering for the Christ a long time in our sinful bodies that helps set free God's creation. This is why apostle Peter stated in other writings that suffering proves we have the glory of God resting upon us.

The process of what we learn, in suffering of sins law, while living in the Spirit creates a war, the war between Spirit and the flesh, in this war, we conquer and also fail, but it is Christ Jesus translating these experiences into fruits of everlasting life for the rest of creation which is the purpose larger than our own life. While this process continual we know that purpose of our body has not been completed for God, so He leaves us in them, that is, He is still completing them for His uses in setting free His creation., or the redemption of them has not yet been completed for His purposes. This does not mean God does not love us or He loves us less in letting us suffer longer in our flesh, in fact, it may will be just the opposite that our God has seen fit to let us suffer longer for His purposes, in setting free darker parts of the creation from sin corruption in us.

1 Peter 4:13 But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

Rom.8:24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

Hope is hard to find in suffering, but it is especially difficult to have in suffering long in our flesh. Moreover, it is almost impossible when it is unseen from human eyes, and yet that is the condition of God's children in the world. The world does not know them, because they do not know God, and many profess Christian's do not understand them because they seemed plagued of God in their sufferings.

Isa.53:3 He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him.
53:4 Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

But it is this fact of hope unseen that set creation free, but how? It is because in suffering the child of God is forced to walk in faith, it is the hope God has created in each one of His children by His love written into their hearts unseen that keeps them walking in faith.

Heb.11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
11:2 For by this, the elders obtained testimony.
11:3 By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

That their suffering are not vanity, that their experience is not human and it greater than their flesh and blood, it is their resurrection from dead works each day and being brought into life with God's Spirit that reinforces the hope in them of creation being set free from sufferings, not in themselves, but rather in the body of Christ Jesus. It is the miraculous nature of their human existence that is proof positive God is completing His divine purpose in their sinful bodies for the rest of His creation that lets them see into the spirit world.

It is God's love that comforts them in all trials lifting them up in broken and weak bodies hated and ignored by the world that proves their hope is real. It is the daily attacks of wicked spirit force in heavenly places that teaches them that what is in them is greater than all human purposes and material blessing of this world. This hope is God's love, and it is God's love providing hope too them that it will be finished in moment into the glorious freedom of the Son's of God.

2Cor.2:14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
2:15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
2:16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

Rom. 8:25 But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

Patience is a moral value that has been lost in today's world, in fact, too many it has become a sin to wait for something in life patiently, but in the world of growth physically and spiritually one cannot jump from being a child into a mature tree producing fruit's over night, it not a matter of our waiting, it is a fact of truth. We cannot force God by impatient to remove our trials in Christ Jesus, which causes us into growth in Christ Jesus the tree of life.

Patience is a fruit of God's Holy Spirit and it is found in suffering over time before it matures in us, Christian's cannot get around this truth, we are not God's children because they are blessed with material things and a life of ease without suffering. They are the body of Christ Jesus hated by this world causing them suffering, but in their patience in these suffering God will set free all creation into freedom from corruption in His Son's. This process is not in one life time, but has been in the workings since Christ Jesus walked the earth. It is an everlastings result that removes sin from the human race and will fills both heavens and earth with people loving God living in eternal life.

James 5:8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
5:9 Don't grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
5:10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
5:11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

This hope is not seen, it is lived and has to be waited upon in great patience, it is the unseen hope that builds are faith in God and His love for us and the human race. It is this hope we wait like a farmer for the good fruit that will free all from sin and corruption, it is a glorious hope the world does not see, or know for lack of patience.

31
Rom.8:26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.

The creation groans in suffering for it release from corruption, at the same time God's own children groan within the creation, but why? It is because the creation is subjected to its own ways by God, the sin of vanity is in all of us and it produces fruits of death and suffering throughout the creation. Where death exist and it should not in human race we find the entire balance of creation upset.

This point Paul speaks too is vital for Christian's that are God's children which are Spirit led, but for those walking in the flesh who are weed-like Christian's Paul's words hold little or no meaning, but why? The great conflict of our universe is between Spirit and the flesh, flesh mean sinful humans, and Spirit, is God's Spirit. These two are at war with one another, that is, they oppose each other in all manner, one is light while the other is darkness. In fact, for one to live, the other must die, where the flesh kills the Spirit of God, in a child of God, it produces more sinful flesh, but where the Spirit puts too death the lust of the flesh in us, Spirit comes into life in our mortal bodies.

This war is also a universal war on a greater scale of all creation, where spirit being that rebelled against God, war against those living in God's love as human and also good spirit beings. What God's children experience in their flesh is a projection of what all creation is experience on a universal scale. But because it is unseen from the child of God's eyes they must walk in faith and get understanding and help from the invisible world to strengthen their faith. The two world's then collide, one is a world of flesh controlled by laws of the flesh, of right and wrong, and the other a spiritual world controlled by the law of love, where trust, faith, hope, and forgiveness proves we walk in love.

But when there is a mixing of the two world's we find false religion, where Christian's convince themselves of fleshly ideas as spiritual thoughts of God. Creating a religion of false worship where material blessings are God's reward for suffering in their flesh and where the world becomes a friend and not at war with the Spirit of God in us.

Laws of doctrine are promoted over walking in spirit and truth, by faith where obeying a rule or a law of a group, for human approval of men. But this is no more than worldly, the same laws control all flesh on earth, which laws cannot justify a Christian, but it does not matter to those walking in their flesh. So the suffering Paul speak too here makes little or no sense to fleshly Christian's they having no value too them.

1Cor.2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.

But this war is alive and real daily in the lives of God's children and often there is found to be causality, like sheep lead to the slaughter, where the laws of flesh over rule them in judgments of self and other, killing the Spirit and God's love which keeps them alive in the Spirit. In this state of darkness, they learn much, that there is no dwelling between the two, moreover, they cannot be harlots mixing Christ Jesus righteousness with the thoughts of the world, which is the flesh control by sins law.

1 John 2:8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

Spiritual death by sins law is as real as physical death, but why? Well, it is because Adam and Eve first died spiritually which caused their physical death later. In a child of God when they die to the Spirit by their flesh or those of others, they are dead requiring a resurrection from God Holy Spirit. In this death like state they cannot think in terms of faith and love, But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groaning which can't be uttered.

God then judges the circumstance in love and not law, but why is this importance, because if God where to judge us in law, justice would demand we stay in a death state as Adam and Eve were judged. But God does not, He judges us according to love, what does that mean, it mean, God accounts Christ Jesus life too us, so we cannot be condemned in law any longer or the world. So now He deals with our sins in love, bring us up, back into life Spiritually into the Kingdom of Christ Jesus love.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

This process which is a projection of all creation groaning is the training and wisdom God uses to set free His creation from corruption of sin through the glorious freedom of the Son's of God.

Rom. 8:27 He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

All of God's children suffer, in these times of suffering they often cannot speak words to ask for God's help, moreover, even if they could the war within them with spirit against the flesh is so overwhelming words cannot be found in human understanding to express their own needs. Here we must not take Paul's words out of context to all rest of the holy writings. The body of Christ Jesus on earth is also the temple of God, within the temple of God (we are speaking of the greater spiritual temple) there are working going on for the body of Christ Jesus, and also others not of temple class.

So that the trials experienced by children of God are found within them as spiritual works and suffering in a royal priesthood. These working require them to listen to the Spirit of the congregation of God, it also requires help in their groaning by the Helper or Holy Spirit of God through Christ Jesus their head, speaks for them the things they cannot understand in human words.

It is our spirit coming from our heart condition that communes with God's Holy Spirit, and it is Christ Jesus that understand these unutterable words. It is our self-condemnation that we stand condemned by sins laws convicting us of sin, that were unable to speak in truth and spirit, letting us communicate with our God in loves law. But even in this it is but illusion of condemnation, why? This illusion which seems real to us the Holy Spirit see through in Christ Jesus.

We are not condemned in Christ Jesus we have condemned ourselves by our own conscience. Because God has removed the law condemning us in the body of Christ Jesus, God is able to work with us in love, it is in this condition that Paul speaks above, that is, He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

Rom.3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
3:21 Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

In other words, we must always remember as God's children this one truth, it is not about us, it is about the temple of the living God, which it's workings are found in spirit and truth, and is governed by the law of love, we cannot possibly understand this working when we live in sinful bodies warring within and outside ourselves with the works of the flesh.

God in His wisdom (Christ Jesus) and His loving kindness, helps us with power beyond our own thoughts and feelings to complete the good works in us, for His glory, we must then walk in faith and wait upon God's help at the right time to conquer the world within us, with out, in God's love.

1John 2:26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

35

Rom.8:28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

Let us remember although we cannot see through our flesh into the spirit world the working in us are not haphazard, they only seem that way when we lack faith, which is each day of our existence as God's children. Our faith need not be any larger than a very small seed of mustard, it is enough for God to complete the good workings in us of producing fruits of eternal life.

These workings of God are not of man or his personal will, and they cannot be understood with words of mankind, they can only be understood with words of the Holy Spirit given to us as needed to complete one day at a time in God great spiritual temple of the living Word Jesus Christ. None of what God does with His precious and prized body of Christ Jesus is human, accept the perfecting of faith by human weakness and failure.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
Isaiah 45:23 By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

This grand school is God run, it is not run by human schools of theology, it not run by religious peoples judgments, and it not found in a book. or on paper. it is a living hope found in the living Word of God Christ Jesus. It cannot be understood in human words so that a human can intercede for us in times of spiritual working in God's temple, nor is it an after thought, or once an a while when a person feels close to God, no! It is rather a predestined works found before we were every born into the world, it is God's plan and set in motion by the God who created the very DNA of all living things, and numbered the stars of heaven. It is not found upon the science of our world, or in the great teachings of some religious group on earth, it is established in an unmovable hope of the heavens in immortally and incorruptibility in the eternal life of Christ Jesus.

Nothing is left to chance by the God of love when it comes to His eternal plan for His children in undoing the rebellion of Satan the Devil in setting creation free from sin. Nothing has been left unearth, that one might say if this hadn't been found, God's plan in us would not be completed, nothing has been left unwritten that one might conclude failure on God's part in completing his purposes for the creation. It is the ego of fallen men in their flesh that put such importance on themselves to think without their thoughts the temple of the living God might not meet it predestined conclusion for setting all creation free.

We are as human humbly and made into a part of the eternal and everlasting workings of God, by the love of God, we share in this everlasting joy when we give glory to such a grand and wondrous God that allows us the privilege of knowing Him in our sinful flesh deserving of death. God does share His glory with created things that must learn to worship Him in spirit and truth. He is our grand maker, and we are His progeny the workings of His hands, let us not get it backwards, where our religion become the the maker of a god.

Heb.12:28 If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:
12:29 For our God is an all-burning fire.

Rom.8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}

When the life force is given to any living thing it predestined the living thing to grow into the life force, it may be a human or a plant, or any number of living things found upon earth, but it will be what the life force in it produces in it own species.

God's children have a life force given too them when they become God's children it is the life of Christ Jesus that predestined them into Son's of

37
God, but as we all know that for any living species it must go through a number of prescribe steps to become mature, moreover, depending upon the environment it is found in there may be a number of set backs, but the life force of the living things move continually towards maturity.

Certainly there will be struggles from inside and out, but the struggles are not a mistake because the life force in pushing towards growth, nor is it the life force fault because there are set backs, it is all part of the growth cycle of all living things.

Rom.1:20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.

This is why Jesus could say with complete faith too God's children, that they should not worry about what to eat or what to wear, for his heavenly Father would provide those things as He does for all living things in which He puts the life force in them, and are created too become.

How much more so God's children who are foreknown and predestined to complete the purpose of the life force of Christ Jesus in them? Moreover, worrying constantly that the life force in us is so fragile that it will be gone for a bad moment or day is about as foolishly and self-centered as one can be. Religions, and human, have done evil and horrific things to one another in getting people and nations to repent or making others a convert to a certain faith, when is fact the life force in them from their parent should have taught them wisdom.

Wisdom, in knowing of the free gift of life given too them by their own parents, we had nothing to do with it, but receiving it as a free gift, moreover, how much more so the gift of Christ Jesus life in the lives of God's children. How powerful of gift is that in God's love? Does that seem to any thinking person to be a small matter that God Himself would make His own children fatherless boys at a whim of religious doctrine?

38
Does it seem that the precious life of the Son of God is so cheap that God quickly extinguish it because of a problem of sin or any other thing in heaven or on earth? Let all of us be humbled, and be thankful God is not a man, let us instead rest in God's unfailing love for His children, that He choose each one from the founding of our world, and that He paid a price so high that we can only accepted His gift of love in humility, and undeserved kindness in Christ Jesus. Let us not teach God his ways, but let us rather listen to His teaching us by His creation through all living things.

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Rom.8:30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

What we should see in Paul's words here is that God glorifies those He justifies, but how many Christian's understand what it means for God to justify a person?

Justify: “To declare innocent or guiltless; absolve; acquit.”

God glorifies those person by declaring them guiltless, but can a person do enough good works to be guiltless, or innocent before God? In other words, can a person live a good enough life for God to say: “I declare you guiltless so I glorify you among the angels”.

Christian's must understand the term justified is a legal term, not based upon human emotion, it is based upon God's legal requirements under the Old Law given to Moses. Legally for God to appease His righteous judgments under the law, blood had to be shed for human sin, what does that mean? It means, life is in the blood, hence, it took sacred life to appease the judgment of God under His law, which in, this case of those under the law, was animal blood.
39
Legally, sin to God is no small matter, it means, for God too atone for human sin another life must be taken. But let us remember, the blood of animals life could not cover completely the sins of humankind, thus, year to year animal life was taken to atone for the nation of Israel sins, that is, individually, and as a nation.

In this manner the nation and person of the nation were temporally justified in God legal requirements. So we can see that the nation and the people of Israel were not justified by the law, or their good works, it was the blood of animal's that justified them, and in this justified legal state God could deal with them individually, and as a nation. Getting this backwards becomes the down fall of that great nation, where their sins could no longer be justified in the blood of animals because the nation became self-justified in thinking by their good works under the law they would cover their sins, but it did not meet God's legal requirements for justification through innocent blood.

The only way the nation could be justified in God's sight was with animal blood prescribe by God's law. This act of justification was given to the nation by Moses in the first passover celebration, where ones could put faith in the blood of the passover lamb; their first born were spared from God's angel of destruction. It was faith in splashing the innocent blood of the passover lamb on their door post that saved the first born of the household, not good works, or obeying the laws of God, but why?

First, let it be noted that it was more then God's chosen people who were spared by the passover blood, it was in fact, all Israel, and Egypt that could be spared by putting faith in God's provision of the blood. If they splashed the blood on the door post; it was their faith which would saved their first born from destruction. They could have been a devout worshiper of God living every aspect of their life by law, and performing many good works, or they could have been a pagan worshiping of the god's of Egypt, however, if they failed to splash the blood of the passover lamb on their door post they were not justified in God's sight, so God could not glorify them in sparing their first born.

In other word, God's justification is not obtainable by self-justification no matter how righteous we think we are, or by the opinion of others.
40
In fact, our personal standing great or small does not matter. One could been the Pharaoh of Egypt, or Moses, or the lowest slave of both, justification would come to all by faith in God's provided blood. This then is the context of Paul's words in the books and Romans, and any other letters he wrote.

Our justification as God's children come by His provision of blood, in our case Christ Jesus blood as our passover lamb. Thus, if we are justified in God's eyes, by our faith in His Son Christ Jesus, then our good works under the law of love, become meaningful, but they do not justify us in God's sight. Never can we say we are guiltless by any other means accept the saving blood of Christ Jesus. We can preach, teach, and present ourselves as holy in speech, or by any other Christian's teachings, but we are not justified unless it is by God's legal requirements of Christ Jesus blood as our passover lamb.

Galatians 5:4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

Rom.8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who indeed can be against someone that God has justified? In other words, what opinion matters of human's if God justifies a person, what law, what rule, what doctrine changes God's justification of a person? Do you as a Christian's truly comprehend God's justification? Do you understand it is not by laws, rules, or doctrines that men have set up to justify themselves before other humans, that is, God's justification of us does not depend upon any human being judgment of us.

1Cor.4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.
4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
41
It is the blood of God's passover lamb Jesus Christ that justifies us before God and not man. It is God's provision by the blood we meet His legal requirements as the Almighty God. God is the creator, we are the created, we cannot teach God anything about life and how eternal life is given and sustained. What we can do as humans is act upon our faith in God's provision for eternal life.

When we human may tried to justify our actions before other human's becoming self-absorbed, proving ourselves as righteous in some questionable conduct being judged by another according to their rule of law or doctrine. We are saying; “look at my conduct, here is the reason I did what I did, I didn't actually break any rule, and here is why?” But are we justified before God by justifying our conduct before men?

No we are not, nor can we be, and this is the context of Paul's words here, Paul was not saying that a person could be justified in reading his words, or obeying the rule of law given to the Israelite, no! What Paul was stating was; if God has justified you who can stand against you, can those wanting to overturn the truth of Christ Jesus blood as the passover lamb of God, how can they stand against you in the Old Law removed by the same blood? Moreover, did Jesus Christ justify himself even when being judged as an evil doer by nation of Israel, and do you know why he didn't? Jesus Christ was justified by his works under the Old Law, because he was perfect, holy and guiltless, his works proved it beyond as shadow of doubt, he could not justify himself, because the very law of God justified him before God, and not man.

Moreover, do you understand that he Jesus Christ was the only one justified before God by His righteous laws and this is why he died and completed the law for us? Christ Jesus proved to be our passover lamb the blood of our justification not a rule or doctrine of some group. All stand justified in Christ Jesus small and great, if they sprinkle the blood of justification on their hearts by their faith in God's legal provision of Christ Jesus the passover lamb. Who then can stand against something so great that is called undeserved kindness?

*Rom.8:32 He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

Has there ever lived a sincere Christian's that has not ask the question can God forgive me for such a great sin? Well, we know all of us have asked that question perhaps more then once in our life's. But as the apostle Paul clearly expresses the same thought in the most positive terms, saying: “What sin can God not forgive, and the proof is, in what God gave us, His own Son's life?

But more is here in Paul's words; he states this gift of life was given us freely. God did not say if you do this or that I will give my Son's life, He did not say if you promise to obey me perfectly I will give my Son's life too you, no! God loved us first while we were yet sinners and provided us the blood of the passover lamb freely. Thus, starting at this point we can rest assured that God will give us all other things we need to have for our eternal life.

How can a person make such as statement in taking God's gift of life for granted? If the gift of life and all other gifts of God were given dependent upon man than it would be taken for granted by sin laws. God meant His legal requirements in the blood which was the precious life of Son Christ Jesus. The gift of Jesus life, was not given because mankind was good enough to have it, no! Instead it was given because mankind had no way out of sin, death, and was unworthy of it. The gift of Jesus life was given us by God, not because we deserved, or by some of our self-goodness, no. But rather it was because of God great goodness towards sinful human's deserving of death.

Romans 5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Under this legal requirement God could redeem the human race by declaring them guiltless from sin committed against His righteous law. God did not remove the Old Law of Moses based on individual human goodness by good works, no! What God did was remove the law because of Christ Jesus goodness then God covered us our sins by removing the laws condemning us of sin. So by proxy we receive the goodness of Christ Jesus, as God looks at the blood of the passover lamb and passover our deserving death, instead giving us the eternal life of Christ Jesus.

43
We as humans had nothing to do with this process or the gift, we are not keepers of the gifts of life as many religions teach, that is, determining who should have the gifts of God by conduct justified by their doctrines, no! God did not confer with mankind in offering His gift of life too human race, He did not set up a religion on earth too dole out life by doctrines or interpretation of Christ Jesus precious life's blood. What He did do instead was speak through Jesus Christ the saying of life and those putting faith in Christ Jesus living words would have life.

Thus, it is not up to us to determine by sins law if a person is appreciative enough to have God's gifts of life, and this is why Jesus Christ stated so strongly not to judge! We cannot judge what we did not give, or earn, nor pay for, it is gift freely given from God's love. Moreover, it is a gift that God demanded to meet His legal requirements so He could justify us before His righteous Law that condemned us to death. the Father of this gift of loves has given all of His children the precious gift of His Son's life, and what ever else He chooses too give, is none of our business.

John 4:21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

John 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

Rom 8:33 Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

Paul here presents a powerful legal argument he does not present a theory, or a fancy to make a Christian's feel better because of their suffering in the Christ. Rather, Paul is stating in context to the rest of his writings in Chapter Eight of Romans; if God justifies a person by the precious blood of Christ Jesus, removing His judgment of His righteous law, declaring the person innocent of guilt and/or sinning against Him,

who then in their right mind is going to bring an accusation against God's chosen ones?

We however, as Christian's can go beyond God's perfect justification through the blood of Christ Jesus and justify ourselves by good deeds then when challenge take ourselves too serious overstepping God's justification in self-righteousness. This happen more often then not with Christian's who do not understand the powerful everlasting position given too them in Christ Jesus righteousness.

Justification to a lot of Christian's, is just a word used by a certain group they associated with, but it does not matter, nor does it change what God has done thousands of years ago in saving blood of Jesus Christ. All Christian's stand before God, without judgment of their sins, by justification of God through the blood of Christ Jesus. It is not because they are good enough to be sinless, or because they attend ever program of their of church group, it is because of their faith in the blood of Christ Jesus.

Proving oneself by good works of a Christian's organization does not justify us before God, it is God that provided the one means of justification before Him in the blood of Christ Jesus, without this legal requirement being made there is no path to life with God and Christ Jesus. We stand condemned in our own sin, God gave us a legal justification in the innocent blood of Christ Jesus, completing His Law of judgment, Now we stand in Christ Jesus righteousness receiving God's love, through Christ Jesus in the new covenant of love with the body of Christ Jesus.

Romans 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

No human or group of human hold the key to this justification, no matter how powerful, holy, or how great their wisdom in doling out the blood of Chris Jesus, it is reserved for us in heaven at the hand of God, no person can remove or claimed the right in having given us the precious blood of Christ Jesus. This is why Paul could state with legal truth that no one

can file an accusation before God against one of His children, as though God would condemns them by earthly laws or rules.

Freedom is not just a word used in the bible to make us feel good, or because we have joy in association with some group, it is again a legal God given right to be free from God's judgment of sin, where we now walk in love and faith, motivated in good works by the love of God, we cannot obligate ourselves to paying back this great gift, nor earn it once we have received it. But above all no one in heaven or earth can rob us of the love God and His undeserved kindness in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

Rom.8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

It is so hard for most Christian's to think in such terms of being worthy enough for Christ Jesus himself to make intercession for them. On the other hand, it is most offensives to hear Christian's speak about being so good and worthy that Christ has nothing better to do but justify their bad conduct in lack of goodness, and modesty.

What both groups fail to understand is, it is not about them, what does that mean? It is not about their personal worthiness, nor goodness, moreover, they need to thank the Lord for that. It is about God's goodness and Christ Jesus righteousness that Christ Jesus makes intercession for them to our Father Yahweh. If it were about us, that is, our goodness and worthiness, the state of the new heavens and earth would be a little more than land of babel, where each person speak babel by laws of the flesh constantly promoting their own self-right-way (righteousness) as god's worthy of personal salvation.

James 3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
46
3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Where people would honor themselves with degrees of goodness putting themselves above others, while at the same time putting others down for lack of goodness in some area their of lives, where colleges would be set up giving honors to the top intellects placing them in the highest place in heaven, while, degrading those with lesser intellect. In other words, this is the foolish of fallen mankind in sin, but it is not the glory of God.

James 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

The glory of God exist in His Son Christ Jesus who came to earth as a lowly person, poor, from a common family who then humble himself under the mighty hand of God to redeem the small and the great from sin and death. God did consult with humans and their understanding of laws of sin as too who would be worthy to redeem mankind, or that debate would still being raging into eternity without let up or peace.

What God did do is speak truth, and spirit through the Word of life Jesus Christ telling mankind every where to repent of their sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. God did not honor any man or woman above the blood of Christ Jesus for redemption. In this contexts we can come to a proper modest and humble understanding of God's love, and His provision for our salvation in the passover lamb of Jesus Christ, and none other. We can then view ourselves in proper context of the precious value of Christ Jesus life, which gives us life, and a standing before God so that Christ may make intercession based on the value of his precious blood for us.

Revelation 4:11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One,{TR omits "and God, the Holy One,"} to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!"

47

Rom.8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Separation is a human experience, part of the life cycle in which we must live; it was experienced by the first human couple ( Adam and Eve) in denying the love of God, their personal conduct separated them from God's love, where sin and darkness could not reside with the love of God's light. Here is the lesson for all of us in Christ Jesus, that our own separation is from our sins and not God's, when we feels separated from our creator it is because of sin.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Does this mean we have to be sinless not to be separated from God, and how can we be sinless when we all sin? And here is the second lesson of faith in Christ Jesus, we are sinless in Christ Jesus, Jesus removed that which condemns us of sin, the Old Law, and any other law of sin against us. We now stand sinless before God, not because we don't sin, it is because the law convicting us of sin has been removed by the merit of Christ Jesus worthy blood. In other words, it was enough for God to redeem all that wanted to partake of His Son blood and flesh.

John 6:54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

We cannot be separated from God's love, in this undeserved kindness of Christ Jesus life too us. This is the context of Paul's words in the
Roman's chapter eight. Although we sin and feel separated from our Father we are not, it is that feeling of separation in darkness that grows our faith into perfect love, which is perfect faith. In our separation we are dependent upon Christ Jesus making intercession for us, what does that mean.

It means we are being translated into the kingdom of Christ Jesus love from sin laws. Life is so very precious that God must teach each one of
48
His Children the value of sinless life, that is, what kills the Spirit of God in human being is sin. He is not teaching us how not to sin by law, He is removing sin from our thoughts which comes from the human heart. In other words, law create more sin, they do not remove sin from humans, they only point out that we are sinner, and need laws to control bad actions.

Human on the other hand believe if the obey a rule perfectly they have no sin or lesser sins, but they are wrong and this is the reason God removed His Law. God removed the conviction of law, because mankind could not stop sinning. He did this by the blood of Christ Jesus redeeming us into the sinless body of Christ Jesus, making us sinless without conviction before Him.

God did give us personal power not too sin and live up to his righteous law perfectly, God knew we could not do that, He instead removed the law, so we would not be convicted of violating it any longer. This is a confusing issue for most Christian's, they feel separation from God by personal sin, judging themselves by God righteous law, condemning them still further, believing they are not worthy enough to have God's love.

1John 3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
3:21 Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God.

Which if they were still under the power of the law would all be true, but they are not, nor can we as human invalidate the worthy blood of Christ Jesus in removing the law. When we as Christian's come above ourselves, comprehending fully that it is not about our personal worthiness or goodness, it is about God's righteous requirements by Christ Jesus that He redeemed us from sin law, we learn to rest in that goodness and not our own.

It is in this context Paul guarantee all Christian's in Christ Jesus that they cannot under any human experience be separated from God's love despite their own failing and others judgments of them.

49
Rom.8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22}

How are Christian's killed all day long? Doesn't that really sound strange, how can a person be killed more then once, let alone all day long? Well it is because of sin, yes, sin kills the Spirit of God in us as Christian's. And if we as Christian's make the statement we have no sin then we are lying and misleading ourselves.

Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

We have sin according to two laws, sins law, and loves law, in both cases we sin daily, and all day long, humbling as that is too those feeling righteous according to the doctrines of their group, it is nevertheless truth. Jesus Christ proved to the self-right-ways the power of loves law, when he stated:

Matt.5:19 Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt.5:22 But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause{NU omits "without a cause".} shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca{"Raca" is an Aramaic insult, related to the word for "empty" and conveying the idea of empty-headedness.}!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.{or, Hell}

Matt.5:27 "You have heard that it was said, {TR adds "to the ancients,"} 'You shall not commit adultery;'{Exodus 20:14}
5:28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Jesus Christ was not talking about the ten commandments here or any other of the laws of the Old Covenant, no! He was speaking about loves law, what it takes, for a person to be perfect in love before God. If they violated love they also violated the Old Law as well. We all sin daily in these matters of love, in turn we violated the Old Law as well, but we are not convicted any longer because of Christ Jesus worthy life completing the law for us. Now we stand sinless in God's love, the only law which controls God's children is love.

Thus, we sin daily against the law of love, not the Old Law, they are gone for God's children, we sin against each other in a lack of love. We cannot stop sinning in this manner until we shed our flesh and are made alive in the Spirit of God. Without flesh, changed into a spirit person, at that time only we will live perfectly by loves law. Because we sin daily against the law love, we died to the God of love, but we are not separated from God's love, we are separated in darkness because of our sins against loves law. In this condition, and at God's appointed time, Christ Jesus intercession are heard for us; God then restored us to life to commune with Him in the body of Christ Jesus.

Gal.5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.

We as Christian's must understand condemnation and where is comes from, and our conviction of sin, and how it was completed in God's love in Jesus Christ, So now our darkness is because of our own sin against the law of love, this conviction is temporary producing guilt of conscience, which conscience is trained by the law of love written into our hearts by God's Spirit. But we are not condemned with the world, we are disciplined by our own lack of love, that is, we are disciplined by what we think is right. This right-way of ours, is found to be actual sin and death; the proof of this is our separation and spiritual death from God's Holy Spirit.

1Cor.11:30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

51
11:31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.
11:32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

God does not condemn us our own hearts condemns us, God has removed His condemnation for us in Christ Jesus, which is God's love too us. We are judged by God in love, what does that mean, love judges in love, it does not judge in condemnation, it allows the person the right to try their way, in doing so, God is proved righteous, but again how?

If our right-way actually separates us into darkness, and we are not judged and condemned by God we learn love. Moreover, we punishes ourselves, because we have convicted ourselves of sins failure of love. This process is why God says love cannot fail. God children are created by Him in love, they desire with all good conscience to live in love, but as we see in a world of confusion regarding love, moreover, God's love is totally misunderstood.

We all come to God with many misunderstanding about love, from our religion, parents, school, friends, and our own lust of sinful flesh. All of these thoughts are sin, God does not condemn for them, He allows us like sheep to be slaughter by our right-way each day, then in His law of love restores us in Christ Jesus. Thus, for Christian's to judge one another harshly is a sin against God's love.

Now we can understand Paul's words too us, how we can be killed all day long, furthermore, began to understand the power of God's love, how His love removes our sins from His sight so that He may deal with us in Christ Jesus in the law of love. In all this we can now understand why only light and goodness come from our God for His Children.

Rom.14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Rom.8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

52
How can we as Christian's be more than conquerors in God's love when life is so tough at times we feel like complete failures? It is because the issues facing us daily are not big compared to God's love, and the eternal life of Christ Jesus bearing witnesses in us.

Our personal universe is very small at times, we seem helpless, and small in making changes in our lives, some times we are troubled with a sin that just won't go away no matter how sincere our love is for God. Moreover, they are the daily cares of living in a world that is often cruel and unkind to those loving God. But let us remember God's universe is much bigger than our own.

So large is our Father's universe He calls our life span, but a mist that disappearing as quickly as we live it. Time moves at the speed of light, one day we are young full of hope of good things to come in life, the next we sorrowful losing the most valuable things in our life.

What is left at end of our life is love, love of human's have failed us, or went in the way of death, but God's love is eternal, God's love is the only love that is eternal and cannot forget us or fail us. But what truly is God's love for us as humans? It is Jesus Christ, but how can a person say, and think, such a thing? Because there was no expression of love that God could have given mankind that would allowed them to think God is love, that is, God loved the human race so much that He would give up the life of His own Son for us.

We simply can not imagine such a thing living in sin and under the laws of sin, which condemn us each day of not being worthy of God's love. Moreover, living by sins law we condemned each other of not being worthy of God's love as well; where only the most successful among the human race are honored with glory.

But we are more than conquerors because of the greatness of God's love, which looks beyond the broken flesh into the heart and soul of each one of us without judgment, yes, without judgment! This is the gift of God's love that He would in undeserved kindness deal with us as sinners in the most loving and compassion way, but how?

53
Through the body of Christ Jesus, God's love to human race, where each member of Christ is loved and cherish by God. Where He can declare each member as a son of God, where he can look at what they become instead of judging them for not being worthy through His righteous laws condemning us.

Yes, in this freedom to love us without condemnation God has defeated all enemies of life, in this love we conquer the world, in this love we are more than conquerors we are Son's of the living God, setting free all creation from corruption and sin. Yes, God does believe love is stronger than death, sin, and, judgment of law!

1Cor.13:8 Love never fails.

Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

There is no created thing in heaven or earth that has the power to separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus, but why? Simply put, God and Christ Jesus are both immortal and incorruptible that means their love cannot fail us. Humans, governments, religions, and all other things created in heaven, and earth including God's angels can and will fail us. Furthermore, we ourselves will fail, but God's love cannot fail.

This point is highly emotional for those loving God, but it is based upon a universal truth when understood by Christian's is so powerful that it overcomes all darkness of this world, and lets them rest in faith upon God's love. What is that truth? The truth is God loved the world so much that He gave us His Son Christ Jesus that we might have life. So simple and yet so deep is this statement that it has baffled the minds of human every since. Christian's religions from time of Christ Jesus has interpreted God's love into thousands of religious confusing it to where God's love has become a meaningless saying which is repeated over and over again.

54
But God's love in Christ Jesus, is the legal foundation where He has justified our sins that He might deal with us in His love. This is the first stepping stone in our faith, and from this point everything else hinges for all Christian's. The heavens and earth of mankind before God gave us His Son Christ Jesus stood in judgment against human race. Nothing in heaven or earth created could remove God's judgment, by His righteous Law. It was only until God was move by His love, in sending us Christ Jesus that we could stand before God as uncondemned, and sinless.

The blood of Jesus Christ removed the Law that was the heavens and earth condemning mankind. When Christian's understand that God's righteousness by Law could not be accomplished because of our sin, they must then understand that Christ Jesus replaced the Laws righteousness with his own.

Thus, where mankind could not meet God righteous law, God provided a means for humans to be sinless. He did so in Christ Jesus righteousness, God accepted Christ Jesus works under the Old Law as the completion of the Old Law.

All human's accepting Christ Jesus stand in his righteousness, their heaven and earth are new, where the life of Christ Jesus rules in their hearts, what does that mean? It means that the love of God works through Christ Jesus conforming their hearts into God's law of love.

Thus, when Christian's come to grips with the truth that they do not stand before God as sinless in their own righteousness, that is, they must accept Christ Jesus righteousness to stand sinless before God; then they comprehend with all of God's saint throughout the history of Christianity Paul's words above. Then they understand why they cannot be separated from God's love, if it depended upon their own personal righteousness in good works they would be separated from God for eternity.

It is the incorruptibility and immortality of Christ Jesus life which is the seed of truth sown in us that conquers the world, it is not our own seed of righteousness that conquers the world, or our obeying the Old Law removed in Christ Jesus that conquers the world, it was the righteousness

55
of the Old Law that separated mankind from God's love, and it was the blood of Christ Jesus removing the wall of separation that united us in God's love for all eternity.

When Christian's think of God immovable power of heaven and earth in Christ Jesus righteousness they come to understand that nothing created will separated them from God's love. Moreover, they will understand the God's love is far bigger than and wicked heart condemning other humans by religious doctrines. Moreover, they will be forced to stop earning and teaching others that by self-will and good works that they receive the life of Jesus instead of truth by God's love.

1Cor.2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."{Isaiah 64:4}
