No Condemnation


"No condemnation," means eternal assurance for those who believe in Christ, that there is no sin, nothing, that could ever separate them from His love and heaven itself. Yet, always be thankful and penitent and live like He lived. Live by your spirit and His Spirit within you.



July's Message, Day 23:

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4 NIV



Every believer should have those two words always in their heart: "no condemnation." Christ perfectly fulfilled the law of the Ten Commandments and was our spotless sacrifice to forever take our place, and being our atonement for sin, redeemed us from the penalty of all sin. There is no condemnation and no sin unforgiven for those who call Christ their Lord and Savior. Be assured, without guilt or shame, that all your sins are forgiven, past, present, and future, and nothing can separate you from His love and ever keep you out of heaven. With that said, that fact doesn't give us a license to sin, but we as thankful believers are expected to live lives pleasing to Him. We are to be repentant and always striving to be mirror images of His life example. But always remember, regardless of what you may have learned or been told, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." You have His eternal assurance.
