No Separation

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus" --Romans 8:1

In Romans chapter 7 we have a man renewed by the Spirit of God, but struggling under law, hoping thereby to subdue or find deliverance from the power of the old adamic nature.

In chapter 8 we have God's way of deliverance through the death and resurrection of Christ, with which the believer is identified before God, and the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. 

The chapter begins with "no condemnation" and ends with "no separation."  All who are in Christ Jesus completely are accepted in the Beloved and are as free from all charges of guilt as He is Himself.  He met all our deserts on the cross. Now we are linked up with Him in resurrection, not under law, but under grace...

"Now, O Lord God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning His house, establish it forever, and do as you have said" --2 Sam. 7:25

This is faith's response to the promises of God, "Do as you have said."  Nothing can turn aside that which God has planned.  He works everything according to the counsel of His own will.  When He gives quietness no one can disturb.  He never promises one thing and then does another.  His Word is unchangeable and His covenant is everlasting.

Overwhelmed with the assurances of blessing not only for the present but for a long time to come, David bows his head in the presence of God and puts his Amen to what He has covenanted.  He who thus confides in the sure Word of the Lord will never be put to shame...
