"Righteous requirements"

A friend and I are working on memorizing Romans 8 and I have been pretty convicted and encouraged as I seek to hide God's word in my heart and meditate on truth during the day.

Here are some things I have been thinking about based on the first four verses:
Verse 1 - "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
So, is there a judgment of believers in Christ? The verse says "NO CONDEMNATION" If we are in Christ, God sees Christ when he looks at us. What is there to condemn? Talk about mercy! WOW!

Verse 2 - "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death"
There are two laws, two kinds of lives being compared here: 1) the law of the Spirit and 2) the law of sin and death 1) life in Christ and 2) life without Christ. If we are in Christ, there is freedom from sin and death. So, do we need to fear death? Do we need to fear judgment? Have we not been set free? If I fear, I am calling God a liar, Or I am just still not in Christ and therefore I am not free!

Verse 3 - "God has done what the law (weakened by the flesh) COULD NOT DO"
The law is incapable of saving us. Only God can do it. How?

Verse 4 - "By sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh"
So, Christ came as a man and took our sin. God could then condemn sin as Christ took it on Him. (This is why there is no condemnation for those in Christ because Christ already has been condemned for us) But why did Christ have to be condemned?
"That the righteous requirement might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit"
If God requires righteousness, can I ever measure up? God does not intend for me to meet the righteous requirements of His law. They have already been met in Christ's living a perfect life. In fact, for me to attempt to meet any righteous requirements in order to gain God's love, approval, acceptance is a direct insult to God and disbelief in His word. Christ has met the requirement. God wants me to accept His provision, not seek to make my own.

In Christ's righteous life my requirement for righteousness is met.
In Christ's taking on of the sin of the world and death on the cross the condemnation for my sin is fulfilled.
It is no longer my requirement to meet or my condemnation to bear.

Have you forgotten that your requirement has already been met? Why are you serving today? Why are you obeying a command of God? Is it to meet a requirement?

There is no requirement!

I Cor 10:31 says to "do all to the glory of God". It does not say to "do all to meet the requirments of God."
There is great liberty and joy in living for His glory rather than His approval. Don't mock at His grace by seeking to add to it. Magnify His grace by remaining dependent and grateful for what He has already done!
