Therefore No Condemnation In Salvation
Therefore No Condemnation
"Not by our views or opinions but by
#God's grace and love are what leads the #sinner to God's eternal
goodness!" Pastor Jean Marie
By putting God in the center of our lives, we look at the world in a different
light. We look to the love of God and His goodness to save those who are
sinners and don't know Him. Through God's forever gracious love we are to
leave our opinions and judgments behind.
Romans 8:1-4 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. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free
from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was
weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
We are therefore persecuted with Christ, our views are forever challenged
by those who don't believe or who don't have an understanding of the love of
God. As I have stated before that we are easy to judge the world, however, we
seldom forgive their shortcomings.
Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not,
and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Jesus came into the world to fulfill the law, for God's forgiveness to rein.
This brought forth the grace and forgiveness so God could look upon us as the
children He loves and not be so harsh with His punishments.
The love of God extends to all of us like the love you have for your children
or spouse. Would it be an easy task for you to cast your children forever in a
lake of fire with no way to reach you? Could you condemn your spouse to eternal
damnation? Then think of what our Father has to go through when one of His own
creations won't turn towards Him and He has to bring forth the ultimate
punishment upon them. It is our job as Christians to make sure that those who
will are not lost, not to judge their shortcomings but to encourage the love of
God. It doesn't matter what sin you have committed. Jesus helps to clean that
out when you ask Him into your life! Knowing that Jesus is the Son of God and
believing in Him is what matters.
John 13:34 &35 "A new command I give you: Love one
another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, all men
will know that you are my disciples if you love one another."
When you put God in the center of your life, you can overlook all the sins that
others do and witness to those who need it the most, as Christ did. Christ
doesn't see the sin but the person that is hurting on the inside, by looking
into the center of their souls through their eyes. This is why the disciples
followed Him and loved Him so much that they gave up their lives to go with
Him. No one man in history showed such love as Jesus did and this is why 2000
years later we can't stop loving him.
Remember that Jesus is the love of our lives, as we are His! He is the only way to God. For according
to...
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Teach them about Jesus, putting God in the center to see through the faults of
those who need Him. God is calling us all, for the harvest is ready and the
workers are few. Praise God for the internet, because I can spread the word of
the Lord in a way that couldn't have been done just a few years ago, and with
such a time as this, it is very important!
Scripture for the week:
Psalm 139, Psalm 86:5, Romans 10:1-13
Prayer:
Father-
I thank you and praise you for transforming me into the person you want me to
be. I pray that you take control of the center of my life, to show me the
unconditional love that You sent Your Son Jesus to show us. That through
my life I become the person you want me to be to everyone I meet or that you
bring into my life. Thank you for your mercy and grace, by showing me
what this means to have it so freely and abundantly. Help me to honor
you, as you have honored me with your love. Thank you, Lord, for it all!
In Jesus' Precious Name,
Amen
