What is Condemnation? An overwhelming sense of shame that comes from the pits of hell.
What does the Word God say about this?
ROMANS 8:1-4
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
On this one verse lays the whole of the great sinners hope. In Christ and in Christ alone there is forgiveness and freedom from the condemnation of sin. It promises that there is NO condemnation. NONE AT ALL. It doesn’t say less condemnation. It says none. He will never bring up our sinful past again. It is dead and gone. It had been crucified and buried. All of our mess, mistakes, our sin was condemned at the cross.
Why is there NOW no condemnation? Because the thing that brought condemnation — the law of sin and death, has been broken off our lives, Jesus took on all the condemnation at the Cross!
2 Corinthians 5:21
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
- The enemy will always remind us of our past, to weaken our confidence, our standing in Christ. But those moments are dead, they no longer speak.
But one thing that does speak and holds true to its promises is the blood of Jesus!
Reflect ///
- When the enemy begins to flood your mind with past hurts, sins. Remind him who you are in Christ, that you are forgiven! set free!
