• In His sight, and before Him, we are not in the flesh. This, indeed, supposes the existence of the flesh, but having received the Holy Spirit, and having life of the Holy Spirit, it is He who constitutes our link with God. (“Romans 8” by J.N. Darby)
• The emphasis is on the word “God,” and in the Greek there is no article before “Spirit.” Nevertheless it plainly refers to the Spirit personally, for it is said, “Dwell in you,” so that He is distinct from the person He dwells in. (“Romans 8” by J.N. Darby)
• “Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” It is the true and only link, the eternal reality, of the new life in which we live in God. (“Romans 8” by J.N. Darby)
• Observe here, that the Spirit is designated in three ways: {1.} the Spirit of God {v.9} , in contrast with sinful flesh, with the natural man; {2.} the Spirit of Christ {v.10}, the formal character of the life which is the expression of His power (this is the Spirit acting in man according to the perfection of the divine thoughts); {3.} the Spirit of Him that raised up the man Christ from among the dead {v.11} . Here it is the perfect and final deliverance of the body itself by the power of God acting through His Spirit. Thus then we have got the full answer to the question, “Who shall deliver me?” We see that Christian life in its true character-that of the Spirit, depends on redemption. It is by virtue of redemption that the Spirit is present with us. (“Romans 8” by J.N. Darby)
