Romans 7 describes the Problem with Mankind: Flesh, sin, death
Romans 8 describes the solution!
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.”
So who are in Christ?
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
So does everyone who puts on Christ, able to be described as having "no condemnation"?
No, as he immediately adds: for those “who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.”
A man might be “in Christ Jesus” but “walk after the flesh.”
What then? He tells us a few verses further down:
“If ye walk after the flesh, ye shall die” (vs13)
“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away.”
