Worshippers and therefore no true Receivers of the Promises of God made to those that meet in his Name There is therefore now no condemnation to them which Rom. 8. 1. are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit It appears he knew when there was a time and State of Condemnation and it was before this time that he now speaks of this Man Paul knew several States having been a zealous Man and a Persecutor and then the Lord met with him and smote him to the ground and said to him Saul Saul why persecutes thou me Insomuch as he did it to his People he took it as done to him and without question knew great Condemnation for it and went thorow a great Warfare and tells us how it was with him in his Warfare he found a law in his members warring against the law of his mind and led him captive but afterwards he says now there is no Condemnation But to whom to those that are in Christ and who are they Even those that walk not after the flesh but after the spirit For the law of the spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me Rom. 8. 2. free from the law of sin and death Here he tells us of a Freedom how he came to be the Lord's Free-man this was while he was in the Body and a sound Testimony against all that plead for Sin term of Life For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh Rom. 8. 5. but they that are after the SPIRIT the things of the SPIRIT Here he makes a great difference between these two as if they comprehended all Mankind and the one so contrary to the other that which of these we joyn'd to we either please or displease the Lord For they that walk in the flesh cannot please God but they that walk in the spirit shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his Rom. 8. 9. Here is a plain Demonstration that this Apostle reckons the Spirit the main means of our being his and that a Man may so have or not so have the Spirit in his account is as he walks in it or obeys it or not walks in it or obeys it for his Servants we are to whom we obey now if we obey not the Spirit of Christ we loose that Priviledge of having it as our Guide to our comfort and yet may have it as to condemn and judge for Disobedience and then we have not the favour and love of it because of Disobedience But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead Rom. 8. 11. dwell in you he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you There is a Testimony of the Spirit that it raised our Lord Jesus from the Dead and how it was to dwell in his People and how it was to quicken them whom it dwelt in I would all People might know a quickening to God by it Rom. 8. Rom. 8. 13. 13. For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body ye shall live Now who are they that live after the Flesh but those that live in Sin for the word Flesh is comprehensive of all the Works of the Flesh and of Iniquity but now the Spirit is to mortifie all these deeds and this is the way to live for People cannot tell us what Sin it is that this cannot mortifie and bring under if any think they can let them shew it us For as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons of Rom. 8. 14. God And truly if People were led by the Spirit of God they would not be at such uncertainty nor so unstable in their ways for the end of being thus led is to bring the Sons of Men to be the Sons of God Rom. 8. 15. For ye have not received Rom. 8. 15. the spirit of Bondage again to fear but we have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father Here he makes mention of two Spirits the one is the Spirit of Bondage wherein are its Children and there is a Fear attends it a slavish Fear from inward Guilt a Fear of Punishment the other that the Children of God had received was the Spirit of Adoption whereby they could call God Father and gave them evidence that he was their Father Rom. 8. 16. The spirit it self beareth witness with our spirits that we are the children of God A certain evidence of God's Care to his Children that they need not be tossed hither and thither with every windy Doctrine of Men and by the sleighty ways of Mens Invention but that they may come through the Spirit to a settl'd stay'd Mind from among the Lo here 's and Lo there 's to have this Witness in our selves and this Seal in our selves that the Lord knows who are his Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities for we know not Rom. 8. 26. how to pray as we ought but the spirit it self maketh intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered Then we ought to mind the help of the Spirit in drawing near to God least when we ask we ask amiss Howbeit when the spirit is come he will guide you into all truth John 16. 13. for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak They that run and the Lord never sent does not profit the People at all And why because they speak and the Lord speaks not by them This I say then walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfil the Gal. 5. 16. lusts of the flesh How full the Scriptures are and how many Admonitions left us from time to time to walk in the Spirit and yet many People make a Mock at it But the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace long suffering gentleness Gal. 5. 22. goodness faith meekness temperance against such there is no law Here is the Fruit of the Spirit made mention of and what Fruits is to be brought forth by it in the Sons of Men. Eph. 1. 13. In whom ye also trusted after that ye heard the word Eph. 1. 13. of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also after that ye believed ye were sealed with the holy spirit of promise This Seal of the Holy Spirit is to be waited for and trusted in to receive the Promises of God which are Yea and Amen for ever in Christ Jesus For the spirit searcheth all things even the deep things of God 1 Cor. 2. 10. It searcheth Mans hearts and Womens hearts and with out it the things of God and of his Kingdom cannot be found out Verse 12. Now we have not received the spirit of the world but the spirit which is
