Chapter 8 begins with one of the most powerful statements of Gospel, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (v. 1) But more than just a declaration of good news, St. Paul describes in this part of his letter how God the Father has accomplished what no man could: he sent his Son to become one of us to fulfill the law on our behalf. The result is that those who are led by the Spirit are now children of God and heirs with Christ. This doesn’t mean there will be no challenges in life—we suffer with Christ—but we will also be glorified with him. This episode has two KFUO radio shows “wrestling with God’s strong word.”
