ROMANS—NOTE ON Romans 8:3 The law (here, the Mosaic law) could not solve humanity’s problem because sin uses the law for its own purposes (see ch. Romans 7:1). God sent his Son as a sacrifice for sin (a sin offering). Jesus paid the full penalty for sin by his sacrifice (condemned sin). in the likeness of sinful flesh. Jesus became fully human, even though he was sinless. In the flesh refers to Christ’s body.
