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!

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
