| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for The Bible Recap. |
| 0:07.0 | Today opens with one of the most powerful dense chapters in the whole Bible, |
| 0:16.7 | Romans 8. This is a crowd favorite. It opens by saying there is therefore now no |
| 0:22.0 | condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. |
| 0:24.7 | So of course we love it already. |
| 0:26.6 | One important thing to do anytime you see a connecting word in your Bible is to see what it's |

| 1:12.6 | He tells us to set our minds on the things of the Spirit. |
| 1:15.8 | Paul encourages us to choose wisely what we think about, |
| 1:18.6 | because our thoughts will become our actions. |
| 1:21.2 | He says we have the power to do this because we have the spirit, |
| 1:24.0 | whereas the lost are helpless to fight sin with anything other than another type of sin. |
| 1:28.8 | For instance, they might fight gluttony with vanity or fear with control. But either way, sin still wins. That is not victory and it is not freedom. |
