NO CONDEMNATIONNo Longer Condemned "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" Romans 8:1 There is glorious liberty in the family of God! Our Father does not condemn us for any past sin. All judgment for our sin has passed upon Jesus. As you put your faith in the blood of Jesus, there is a perfect cleansing from all sin. The Spirit of God will convict men to point them to Jesus. God's same conviction is determined to lead us into faith and freedom. The opposite is true with condemnation. It points people to their sin and away from Calvary. Having condemnation leads to fear and bondage. Know the difference. One leads to life; the other leads to death. In your acceptance of Jesus Christ, you have received God's grace and mercy. You are now "in Christ" by virtue of the new birth. There is absolutely no condemnation in Jesus at all. He had no sin, He has no sin. Yet, for a brief time in history, Jesus accepted the sin of the world along with its punishment. God is not holding the sins of the world against the ungodly. He is offering reconciliation (forgiveness and pardon) to all who accept His Son. You are "in Christ" now. God cannot and will not condemn you because of Jesus. You are free from fear. You are liberated from guilt - no matter what you have done or where you have been. Since you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, there is "NO CONDEMNATION." The truth of Romans 8:1 will keep you singing the rest of your life. Think on it. Talk about it. Most of all, act on it. Since you are not condemned, you have no need to condemn others. What a freedom to see others reconciled to God and to tell the Good News! Boldly Make This Confession of Faith Aloud I am no longer condemned. I refuse all guilt and shame over past sins and failures. I am free in Jesus for I have received God's grace.
