       Let’s go ahead and turn to Romans chapter 8 in our Bibles, or tap there on our mobile devices, and go to verse one. And one thing to note before we get started here, and that is that many of you are going to have the second half of verse one missing in your Bibles. I’ve stated my belief about this in the past, but the main reason is because the modern translators have gotten fancy on us and removed it because it only appears in some of the manuscripts. Nevertheless, I want us to keep it here because it has been there for 1,900 years or so, and nows not the time to be editing our Bibles right before Jesus returns. (People sometimes want to criticize modern translations for being too readable and yet those same folks don’t want to criticize the deleting of verses. Ok, whatever). Romans chapter 8, starting in verse 1: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not according to the flesh (but according to the Spirit).”
