So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses could not save us, because of our sinful nature. But God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like ours, except that ours are sinful. God destroyed sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. (Romans 8:1-3)
Nothing else can save us from our sins except Jesus Christ. We cannot do anything else to escape the consequence of sin which is DEATH… There is only ONE way. And that is through Jesus and His Spirit that is within us that we reach our Destiny.

Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will. That's why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.  (Romans 8:5-8)

Your actions determine who is dominant in your life. If you are controlled by sin, you do sinful things. If you are controlled by the Holy Spirit, you do things that pleases the Spirit.

But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them are not Christians at all.) Since Christ lives within you, even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit is alive because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as he raised Christ from the dead, he will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you. (Romans 8:9-11)

We are no longer controlled by our sinful nature. We are controlled by the Spirit because we have already accepted Jesus in our lives. There is a much greater power who is looking over our lives now. A greater power that helps us living in righteousness.

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28)

All things work together for YOUR good, for MY good.

For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn, with many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And he gave them right standing with himself, and he promised them his glory. What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? (Romans 8:29-31)

God knew you and He chose you. Not by mistake, he chose me for a purpose. He was sure. He was always sure of you. And if God is for us, who can be against us? Who can go against God's will of choosing us. We are all called to COME TO HIM.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? (Romans 8:35)
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

Nothing can separate me from the Love of God. All else may fail, but not the love of God. Not my fears or worries can ever separate me from the love of God, not even my doubts… NOTHING. 

PROMISE

  1. There is no condemnation to those who believe in Jesus. They are under the covering of the Holy Spirit. They can always turn back to God.
  2. We are no longer controlled by the sinful nature, we have the authority and power to overcome SIN in our lives.
  3. All things work together for MY GOOD. All things happen for a purpose, and it is always for my good because God loves me.
  4. God chose me not by mistake but by a purpose.
  5. Nothing can separate me from God's love. I can always experience God's love wherever and whenever.

COMMAND

  1. Have the Holy Spirit in control of my life.
  2. Act according to who is in control over your life. Do things that pleases the Holy Spirit. Be sensitive. And act on it.
  3. Trust in Him. Know that everything happens for a purpose, everything happens for your good.
  4. Be convinced that NOTHING can separate you from God's love.

WARNING

If you continue to do sin, then sin is still in control over your life. GET OVER IT!

APPLICATION

  1. I will not allow my sinful nature to take over me and my life. I am no longer a slave of SIN. I will overcome through the power of the cross and of Jesus. I have the Holy Spirit in my life and He is in control.
  2. In everything that I do, I will ask myself, "Am I pleasing God?"
  3. I will never forget about His love over my life.. His love that never fails. His love that endures. Fear, worries and doubts have no power against the love of Christ.
