and therefore thy sins which thou committest, do not put thee under the sentence of eternal death, as the sins of others do: there is no condemnation to them that are in Jesus Christ; & it is true of every moment, and instant of time, that there is no condemnation to them that are in Jesus Christ. I will give you another scripture for this, that is as clear as the other, though not perhaps so much taken notice of It is in Rom. 7.5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sin which were by the Law did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. Note the Motions of sin which were by the Law did work in our members; What did they do? they brought forth fruit; and fruit unto death; this the blessed Apostle saith was when we were in the flesh. But now being Believers; though we have the remainings, the motions of sin, yet they are not such as bring forth fruit unto death. None of the sins of Believers bring forth fruit unto death, for they are delivered from that power of the Law; that the Law cannot come with the sentence of death upon them. This is an high privilege of Believers; and the right knowledge of this would help us that we should not think, that our peace with God is so broken that God is our enemy through every sin which through humane frailty is committed.
