Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death".
Christ is the location of the righteousness of God, which imparts the life of God into a person's spirit, bringing him into a vital union with God. It is this righteousness that cancels out man's condemnation; guilty sentence unto death, before God, and making peace between man and God.
Clearly nothing a man does outside of Christ is good enough to overturn God's judgment against him, because a dead person can never raise himself up. The man outside of Christ is dead in sin and trespasses, wretched and incapable of pleasing God, and in desperate need of deliverance. And it is only God who can deliver such a wreck from the law of sin and death through Christ's death and resurrection, by the power of the Spirit.
No condemnation means, no enmity, guilt, slavery to death, but peace with God, authority to reign, alive and seated with Christ at the right hand of the Father, far above principalities, authority, dominion, powers and every name that can be invoke, in this age and in the age to come! We live by faith and walk by the Spirit. We don't fail in Christ Jesus! Glory to God!
