Context: Romans 8
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
About Romans 8: Life in the Spirit
Paul teaches that people who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under condemnation, and that the Holy Spirit helps them to live a life pleasing to God.
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.
