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.

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.
