âThere is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.â - Rom. 8:1
By âthem which are in Christ Jesus,â St. Paul evidently means, those who truly believe in him; those who, âbeing justified by faith, have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.â They who thus believe do no longer âwalk after the flesh,â no longer follow the motions of corrupt nature, but âafter the Spiritâ; both their thoughts, words, and works are under the direction of the blessed Spirit of God.
