Romans 8:1-2 ESV
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
There is no question for those in Christ, there is no condemnation. A question remains, are you in Christ?
A law applies to everyone. The law of the Spirit of life applies those in Christ. The law of sin and death applies everyone else. Both require obedience. It is impossible to obey the law of sin and death. That's how it got its name. The law of the Spirit world be impossible without God, but it includes the mercy and forgiveness of Jesus in an ongoing relationship of dependence and transformation.
The decision before us is whether we seek to remain in the body of Christ, to stay attached to the vine.
