Romans 8:3 - The Message

God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn’t deal with the problem as something remote and unimportant. In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all. The law code, weakened as it always was by fractured human nature, could never have done that.   The law always ended up being used as a Band-Aid on sin instead of a deep healing of it. And now what the law code asked for but we couldn’t deliver is accomplished as we, instead of redoubling our own efforts, simply embrace what the Spirit is doing in us.

Romans 8:3 - Additional Comments

This shows a weakness in "the law of sin and death" (vs 3). This law cannot make us justified, cannot free us from condemnation (vs 1). Because of this, God set up the other law by sending Jesus. Sin is condemned, but we are not, since sin is removed from us (Psalm 103:12).
