Romans 8:1-2

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

there is now no condemnation
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is interceding for us.

for those who are in Christ Jesus
Romans 8:39 ...neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

because through Christ Jesus

the law of the Spirit of life
1 Corinthians 15:45 So it is written "The first man Adam became a living being", the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

from the law of sin
Romans 6:16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness?
Romans 7:4 So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
