Reading: Romans 8:1-17

Devotional: After Romans 7's honest struggle comes Romans 8's glorious declaration: "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death." Victory isn't found in self-effort or pretending the battle doesn't exist. Victory is found in Christ and walking by His Spirit. You are not who you used to be. You're alive from the dead, and God's Spirit dwells in you. When the flesh pulls, answer with the Word. When your members war against your mind, strengthen your mind with Scripture. Present yourself to God. Renew your mind daily. The same believer torn in Romans 7 stands victorious in Romans 8. Today, declare your freedom and walk in the Spirit's power.
