THE REAL TRUTH MATTERS / ARE YOU IN CHRIST JESUS OR OUT? IF YOU ARE IN ........THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION - Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. - What God wants us to understand from Romans 8:1 when He says through the apostle Paul, “There is therefore now no condemnation FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS ,” is that all of God’s condemning wrath and all of His omnipotent opposition against us IN OUR SIN HAS BEEN ENTIRELY REPLACED BY ALMIGHTY MERCY AND OMNIPOTENT ASSISTANCE. In Christ Jesus God is always for you. ALWAYS! This is where Paul is going in Romans 8. He gets there in verse 31 and says, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us!” His point is that in Christ Jesus “ NO CONDEMNATION” means that God is always omnipotently for us and not against us. Always! Now this is breathtaking. If we could believe it, practically, morning till night deep in our souls—if this truth that God is only for us and not against us, and that He is for us with almighty mercy and omnipotent assistance all day and all night, waking and sleeping, Oh how differently we would live and sleep! What freedom! What a joy! What a peace! What a risk-taking boldness! What a fearlessness! What a sacrificial life-style of love and service and mercy! What a patience! What a serenity we would have. Speaking The Truth In Love!
