Commentary
Romans 8 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Paul begins by reminding us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He then goes on to explain that the Spirit of God has set us free from the law of sin and death. This freedom is a result of the Spirit of God living in us and leading us in the way of righteousness.
