Romanos 8:1-9

THIS WEEK'S VIDEO COMMENTARY AS SEEN ON WORLD NET DAILY No Condemnation by Richard Rives WATCH VIDEO The Book of Romans, Chapter 8 tells us that: There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit; and that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.
