‘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.

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.

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!
