Romans 8

Father, what the law could not do you did by sending Jesus, your own son, in the likeness of sinful flesh to account for my sin. You, Father, condemned sin in the flesh, and Christ became the propitiation for that condemnation.

You, Father, even with the penalty of sin paid for, still required a righteous fulfillment of the law, and Christ lived that righteous life.

That righteousness is imputed to all who have faith in Christ as their Lord and Savior, to all who walk according to the Holy Spirit’s presence and leading. To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Those who live in the flesh cannot please you, Father. But I am not in the flesh, but in the spirit. I know this because your Spirit lives in me.

Christ dwells in me. My body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. Your Spirit, Father, who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, and gives life to my mortal body.

I am quickened by your Spirit and led by your Spirit. Therefore, Father, I know I am your son.
