(Rom 8:1 NKJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
There is no condemnation for those in Christ. Period.
Way too many believers live under condemnation of some sort. Some of it comes from guilt about things from the past. Some of it comes from judgment from other people in the body of Christ. And sometimes it even comes from our spiritual leaders.
None of us should ever feel condemned. Jesus took all of our condemnation on the cross and put it to death there, once and for all.
God will convict us when we’re out of line, but He will NEVER condemn us.
If you’re feeling weighed down with guilt or condemnation today, take a good look at why this is happening. Do you have unconfessed and unforgiven sin in your life that’s making you feel guilty? Are you being judged unjustly by your peers or your leaders?
If this condemnation is coming from others, it might be time to find some new people to spend time with.
Jesus hung guilt and condemnation on the cross and defeated it permanently, so there is no need for us to still be carrying it around. Lay it to rest right now, in the name of Jesus!
