No Condemnation In Christ!


therefore, (there is) now, no condemnation who are in Christ  (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live (and) walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.’ (Rom 8:1 AMP)

Jesus was condemned in our place.  You may ask how? The Bible says in Romans 8: 3, ‘for God has done what the Law could not do, (its power) being weakened by the flesh (the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit). Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as and offering for sin. (God) condemned sin in the flesh (subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice)’ (AMP). Jesus took our sin on His body and thus condemned sin in the flesh.

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, ‘for our sake He made Christ (virtually) to be sin who knew no sin so that in and through Him we might become (endued with, viewed as being in and examples of) the righteousness of God (what we out to be approved and acceptable and right relationship with Him, by His goodness) (AMP).’

The one who condemns you is the devil.  Refuse to walk in condemnation and guilt.  Confess your sins to Jesus and be washed by His blood if you have committed sin.  His blood is sufficient to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 

1 John 1:9 says, ‘if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from All unrighteousness.’  Cheer up my friend!  Don’t  allow thoughts of condemnation in your heart.  Guard your heart from the lies of satan. 

Walk in the assurance of His love for you is so deeper, unfailing and unconditional!  The Bibles says, ‘When we were yet sinners Christ died for us’ (Romans 5:8).

Walk in the light of this Truth!
