Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 8:2-3

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:" — Romans 8:2-3 (ASV)

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

He did accomplish it. The law could not condemn sin so truly and so thoroughly as God did when he condemned sin in the person of Christ.

O believer, do not let your sins grieve you—however great or however tremendous they may have been; weep over them, but do not be distressed about them, for they have been condemned in Christ Jesus.

They may have been enormous, but if you are in him, Christ was punished for you, and God's justice does not ask for a second punishment for one offence.

Christ offered once a complete atonement for all believers, and if I am a believer in him, there is no possible fear of my ever being condemned.

There cannot be, for Christ was condemned for me; my sins were laid upon his head. In the awful moment when he sustained the stroke of his Father's vengeance, those sins ceased to be; and there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.
