No condemnation.

"THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (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" (Romans 8:1 AMP). The children of God are so fortunate. When all seems to look bad and when sin tries to swallow us up, we can cry out to Jesus. So many have no idea that the Lord Jesus Christ took care of all sin at the Cross of Calvary. We cannot forget or take lightly that we have a Redeemer that is full of love and mercy. Jesus is willing to forgive even the most wicked of sinners, even when guilt and shame is so visible upon their hearts. We, as believers, have not yet seen the power and mercy of God's great forgiveness. So many times we walk around broken, filled with hopelessness, without a single ounce of joy, pretending that all is well, and professing how good life is; yet we lack the spiritual knowledge that God has already given us the Perfect Sacrifice, His Son Jesus Christ. We try so hard to fight against the guilt, and we try to find peace within our own strength and will power. Little do many know, God has His arms open, waiting to set free the guilty minded and shamed child of God. The Father's love is amazing, and He looks past all the unfortunate things we get trapped into. God is our only help and with great love, He calls unto all the world to come to Him and have true life away from the condemnation and guilt that fills the heart. God bless you. Amen.
