You are no longer condemned!

"So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned." Romans 8:1

Before the apostle Paul wrote the line above he allowed us to see who he was. A corrupt man sold as a slave to sin. A man that had nothing good living in him and one who continued to do evil things. But he received an insight from God that we all need to see. Evil is present even when we want to do what God wants us to do, but because of Jesus, we have been rescued from a life of sin.

Many of us still walk around as if there is no hope. We look at our lives and feel that we are just not worthy because of how we constantly do things that we know is sin. We feel that God could never allow us eternal life because of how we live this life. Meditate on the scripture above. It's not about who we are...it's about who Jesus is. It's because of His life. It's because of His faith. His obedience. It's because of His victory that we are no longer condemned. This is Good News! Change your mind and your heart and live knowing He has delivered us.
