No Condemnation

Romans 8:1- 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. 

The word Condemn means to: "pronounce to be guilty, sentence to punishment."

Now most of us know that Jesus came to this earth so that we would no longer be endangered of being condemned to eternity in Hell, condemned to a life of servant hood to Satan, and condemned to the grave. If we walk in the Spirit of God daily, always living our lives like we are Christs workmanship (Ephesians 2:10), And living for God's Glory (Hebrews 2:10), then we know that we can live without fear of being bound by the flesh and living apart from God.

Now here is the thing. Once many people get away from the danger of living an eternity without Christ, then they decide to forget this verse and worry about things, and live like they are taking care of themselves, and no one cares about them. I know I do this every once in a while, and it shouldn't be. We should be living as children of the light, not sinners of the dark. Once again, read Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Are you in Christ Jesus? Then why do we live like we are in the flesh?

Whatever you might be going through, stress, a bad situation, a decision that is important to make, an abusive situation, something that you feel like you can't get out of... Whatever it is, you can rest assured that God hasn't forgotten you. I promise that. He always takes care of his kids. No matter what they are going through. Don't give up! Don't began to walk in the flesh. You cannot do this on your own. This situation that you feel YOU need to handle, probably can be put at God's feet.

Go before your maker and tell him about your problem. He will hear you. Not always will His answer be, "Right away!" Things may take time to develop in your life, but it will be for the best. Always remember that you are walking hand in hand with God. Repeat Romans 8:1 to yourself daily and remember that you are not condemned but walking with and in the Spirit of God.

God bless you, and continue to walk as a child of the light. You are not condemned any longer by this world. You have been made free by Christ Jesus. Go ahead, say it, "I am no longer condemned, and sin has no hold on me."

~Whatsoever things are true
Philippians 4:8
