In this chapter, Paul talks about the importance of grace in our lives. In verse 6, he says "if we are accepted by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace."

Romans 8 is a chapter of FREEDOM where this is only found when we are in Christ. In this section, we see the first two freedoms we have. First, there is no CONDEMNATION (v.1) because of the sin in our old life, and second, we have no OBLIGATION (v.12) to the old (flesh) life, rather we are to live by the Spirit by which we can call God our Father.
