DAVID’S TAKE ON ROMANS 8:1 “NO CONDEMNATION”

Discussed by David Fleming
with Lanier Theological Library (www.LanierTheologicalLibrary.org)

Day 1

WHAT IS THE RESULT OF SIN? CONDEMNATION. WHAT DID WE GAIN FROM CHRIST’S DEATH ON THE CROSS? NO CONDEMNATION!

This week, former CFBC Pastor David Fleming subs in for Mark keeping the theme of Romans going with his take on the phrase “No Condemnation” from Romans 8:1.

If you missed Mark’s lesson on Romans 8:1 from January 18, 2026, check out the archives on our homepage. The lesson was aired during the week of January 26-30.

To view David Fleming’s video for this lesson, click here.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

What is the point of this verse?

Why compare a criminal proceeding and judgment to salvation in Jesus Christ?

How and why does everything hinge on the word “no”? Is this similar to instructing a child not to touch a hot stove? This is a great illustration from David.

Are we around Christ? Near Christ? By Christ? What does “IN Christ” even mean?

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

All Mighty, All Powerful Omnipotent Father,

You are everlasting, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You do not grow faint or grow weary.

You, Lord, give power to the faint, increasing their strength.

May we love you with all our heart, mind, soul, and spirit as we follow your precepts today.

We place our plans in your hands, knowing all things work for good for those who love you.

May we always remember to lift up those who are walking in a deep, dark valley. Father, comfort them. May they rest in your love.

Walk with us today, Lord Jesus, and strengthen us as we carry our cross, working for the Kingdom. May all we do and say glorify you.

Father, may your never-ending love be with each saint.

And if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Humbly praying in the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
