David spoke about what it really means to be ‘in Christ Jesus’. Romans 8:1-11 provides the solution to the problem of sin and failure to meet the demands of the Law. Firstly, the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross as a sin offering deals with the penalty of sin. Secondly, the Holy Spirit is given to indwell the believer, to internalise the tenets of the Law and personalise our relationship with God. Because the Law of the Spirit has set us free we are no longer condemned. We are urged to set our minds on the desires of the Spirit so that we may truly dwell in the realm of the Spirit.
