Set free by the Spirit...

Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit has bailed out the believer in Jesus Christ.  As our Advocate, our legal representative,  He steps up and says we are "not condemned." He explains to the Judge that the Son has paid our penalty and has lived out righteousness in our place.  We no longer need to live like convicts. We need to listen to our Lawyer give us advice. He has set us free and knows how we can and should live.
