I. In Christ, you experience no condemnation (v. 1)

Justification: "An instantanous legal act of God in which He declares us to be righteous in His sight."

"Just-as-if-I-had-never-sinned."

"No condemnation now hangs over the head of those who are in Jesus Christ." (Phillips Translation)

II. In Christ, you experience personal liberation (v. 2)

III. In Christ, you see God's ultimate intention (v. 3-4) 

"The end God had in view when sending His Son was not our justification only, through freedom from condemnation of the law, but also our holiness, through obedience to the commandments of the law."

--John R.W. Stott
