Introduction: This is oft considered to be one of the most significant chapters in all the Bible. It is the highpoint in the book of Romans.

In the passage just before this Paul was wrestling with the flesh. His final cry was, “Who will rescue me from this body of death?” The answer was Christ and Christ alone. 1A THERE IS THEREFORE - 1C NO CONDEMNATION - 1B NOW - 1D TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. - Discussion Questions & Action Items How might doubting your salvation impact your life and your witness?
