Romans 8:1-17
Lesson 297
Read both the "King James Bible" and the "New Living Translation."
In this lesson:
The power of Christian living.
Life in the Spirit.
We have a sinful nature.
Although sinners, Christians are free from guilt.
You are not a body with a soul; you are a soul with a body.
The indwelling Spirit (8:1-11).
A warning (8:12-13).
Many scholars consider chapter eight the high watermark of Romans.
It covers our spiritual past (8:2-4), present (8:5-17), and future (8:18-30).
Because of its importance, we will devote the next three lessons to chapter eight.

Study Tip:
"In Bible reading, we need to watch ourselves very closely, lest our thoughts wander, and our reading become perfunctory and meaningless. We must determine resolutely to keep our minds on what we are reading, doing our best
to form an intelligent conception of it, and being on the lookout for lessons for ourselves."
Henry Hampton Halley, minister and religious writer (1874-1965).
