83. JUSTIFICATION. REGENERATION. THE CHURCH.

1. Of justification and regeneration; see Faith, Charity, Works, Law.

Since we are not under the law, but under grace, is it permitted to sin? Be it far from us. Since we are dead to sin, how shall we live in sin? but in newness of life. Wherefore sin shall not reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof; but present your members as servants of justice unto holiness (Romans 6:1-2, 4, 10-16, 19-20, 22; 7:4-7). See also Law.

That there is another law in the members, or in the body, which wars against the law of the mind (Romans 7:12-25). See Law.

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. God sent the Son that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die, but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God (Romans 8:1-6, 13-14, 16).

The nations have attained to justice, justice which is of faith (Romans 9:30).
