| 0:00.0 | Thank you. On Truth for Life, we are beginning a series today called Life in the Spirit. |
| 0:31.4 | This is a study in Romans chapter 8. |
| 0:34.2 | Alistair Begg looks to the Apostle Paul's teaching to help us understand what it means to be a Christian. |
| 0:40.7 | And today we'll focus on why believers are free from condemnation, even though we still sin. |
| 0:53.5 | Now, gracious God, we humbly pray that the Spirit of God will help us to use our minds to think |
| 1:00.4 | sensibly and properly, that you will take my words and help me to speak clearly and succinctly, |

| 2:38.9 | without the will of my heavenly father. |
