Romans 8:1

The "flesh" as used throughout this chapter refers not to our human bodies, but to the principle and power of sin. Sin is present and often operating in our body, but not to be equated with the body (see 6:6).
"Not guilty; let him go free"-what would those words mean to you if you were on death row? The fact is that the whole human race is on death row, justly condemned for repeatedly breaking God's holy Law. Without Jesus we would have no hope at all. But thank God! He has declared to those who have turned to Jesus not guilty and has offered them freedom from sin and power to do his will.
