WE ARE IN CHRIST AND NOT SUBJECT TO THAT

ROMANS 8

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

Not subject to that? What’s “that”? That is the subject of the chapter and of the message. D.L. Moody said he thought the three greatest chapters God had Paul write were 1 Corinthians 13  the Love Chapter, 1 Corinthians 15 – the Resurrection Chapter, and Romans 8 which opens with “No condemnation” and closes with no separation.
