Spurgeon At Exeter Hall, Strand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors." Romans 8:12 .

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-39

Let's turn to the eighth chapter of Romans. Fasten your seatbelts as we take off.In the seventh chapter of the book of Romans, Paul has come to the realization that the law is spiritual. While he was a Pharisee he thought of the law as physical, intended to control man's outward actions. But when he came to the realization that the law was spiritual, then he realized that the law actually condemned him to death because, though he had physically kept the law, spiritually he had violated it.So he... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 8:1-39

The first four verses of this chapter belong to the preseding one, and deduce the just conclusions therefrom, that the state of fallen man is a state of condemnation and legal bondage that he cannot extricate himself by any unavailing efforts of legal obedience that God has done for us by Jesus Christ what we could not do for ourselves that this liberation is obtained by union with Christ, which exempts us from condemnation and that those who are thus united to him, walk not after the flesh,... read more

Romans 8:9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. We are not in the flesh, but alas: the flesh is still in us“A boat has been sailing on the salt ocean, it has come through many a storm, and, half full of briny water, it is now sailing on the fresh water of the river. It is no longer in the salt water, but the salt water is in it. The Christian has got off the Adam-sea forever. He is in the Christ-sea forever. Adam is still in him, which he is to mortify and throw out, but he is not in... read more

Romans 8:10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.The indwelling of ChristI. For the present the indwelling of Christ in believers, by His Spirit, removes the power of death from the sphere of their spiritual nature only.1. From that nature, however, it is removed. For “if Christ be in you,…the Spirit is life because of righteousness” (1 John 5:12). But on account of what “righteousness”? Surely not our own, for apart from... read more

Romans 8:11But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus … dwell in you.The indwelling SpiritThe indwelling of God the Holy Spirit is the common mark of all believers in Christ. It is the shepherd’s mark of the flock of the Lord Jesus, distinguishing them from the rest of the world. It is the goldsmith’s stamp on the genuine sons of God, which separates them from the dross and mass of false professors. It is the king’s own seal on those who are his peculiar people, proving them to be his own... read more

Romans 8:12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live after the flesh.The Christian--a debtorI. How are we to understand this. We are debtors--1. To all times.(1) To the past. To such who have preceded us we owe the purity of the Church. Shall we not, in some degree, repay the immense debt of our obligation by seeking to make the future also debtors to us, that our descendants may acknowledge that they owe us thanks for preserving the Scriptures, for maintaining liberty, for... read more

Romans 8:13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Sin and death, or grace and lifeI. If sin live in us, we shall die.1. To live “after the flesh” is to obey the orders of our corrupt nature; to gratify its sinful desires without regard to or in contradiction of the will of God. And this will appear if we consider--(1) The actions of a carnal man (Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:12; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians... read more
