Romans 8
There is now no condemnation
For those in Christ the Lord.
No charge remains, no sentence stands —
We’re cleared by Heaven’s court.
The Spirit’s law of life has set
Us free from sin and death.
What Law could never overcome,
God did through Jesus’ flesh.
He sent His Son in human form,
In likeness yet without sin’s stain,
And there condemned sin fully
So righteousness would reign.
Now we who walk by Spirit
Not ruled by fleshly mind
Live in peace and freedom,
No longer sin-confined.
The flesh leads only into death,
The Spirit leads to life.
The flesh resists the will of God,
The Spirit ends the strife.
If God’s own Spirit lives in you,
You are not flesh but new.
Though mortal bodies still grow weak,
His life is pulsing through.
And He who raised up Christ from death
Will raise your body too.
The power of resurrection
Now works in all you do.
We owe the flesh no loyalty,
No slavery remains.
By Spirit power we put to death
The old destructive chains.
All led by God’s own Spirit
Are children fully known.
Not slaves again to fear and dread,
But heirs before His throne.
We cry out, “Abba, Father,”
The Spirit testifies.
If children, then co-heirs with Christ
Where future glory lies.
These present sufferings cannot match
The glory yet revealed.
Creation groans for freedom’s day,
Its brokenness to be healed.
And we ourselves are waiting still
For bodies made complete.
We hope for what we do not see
And trust what God will meet.
The Spirit helps us in our weakness,
Interceding deep within.
When words fall short and prayers are faint,
He speaks beyond our sin.
And we know God works all things
For good within His plan —
For those He called, foreknown in love
Before the world began.
Predestined to be like His Son,
Called and justified —
And those He justified by grace
Are glorified inside.
If God is for us — who can stand?
He did not spare His Son.
Who brings a charge? God justifies.
Condemnation? None.
Christ died and rose and intercedes —
Our victory secure.
What can divide us from His love?
What trial can endure?
Not trouble, famine, sword, nor death,
Nor powers dark or broad —
Nothing in all creation
Can separate from God —
The love revealed in Jesus Christ,
Our risen, reigning Lord.
No condemnation.
No separation.
Forever secure in Him.
