Romans 8:1-4 – 23rd April 2006
•	The promise of “no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus” implies that there is condemnation for others.  What do you think are the most important things that Romans 1-3 teaches us about God’s condemnation?  Is God’s condemnation fair?
•	How does God forgive us (v3 and also Romans 3:25-26)?
•	What function does “the law” have and what can it not do (v3, see also Romans 7:7-13)?
•	What does it mean to be “in Christ Jesus”?  How can we be confident that we are “in Christ”?
•	God pronounces his not guilty verdict “now” (v.1)  What does this mean about our future sins?  Does this mean that sin no longer matters in our life? (See prayer notes for some thoughts on this.)
•	How does this present “not guilty” verdict affect your attitude to the future, and your attitude to the opinion of others?
