Romans 8:9

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Romans 8:9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.

Ye saints of Rome to whom Paul was writing, and ye who believe in Christ now: "Ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you."

Romans 8:9. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

If Christ’s Spirit has not quickened you, you do not belong to Christ. Some ministers preach a very general sort of gospel in which everybody has a share, but the Bible knows nothing of that sort of gospel. "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Do you know what it is to have the Spirit of Christ ? If not, my hearer, do not deceive yourself you are none of his. "If any man" - be he prince or magistrate, a member of Parliament or a doctor of divinity, - " if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
