No Condemnation!

There is therefore, now no condemnation for those that's in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit alive in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1 & 2.

Well, that may be what the bible says, but its not true for me. I have done too many bad things for God to forgive me. So I am under his condemnation and might as well go on living life the way I have.

Right?

Wrong!!!!!

Once we confess our sin to him, and accept his mercy into our sinful life, he is faithful and just to forgiven us 

sin and all we have done, and we are no longer under condemnation,but are released from the things we have done.We are no longer held under the guilt and shame of those things.

It's why Jesus came. To die for us and take away our sin. 

Because, without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (forgiveness) for sin. 

(Hebrew 9:22)

And Jesus had to provide his blood to be shed for our sin because he was the only one that could do it. I mean, what human in his right mind, would volunteer to hang on a cross, beaten and ridiculed, and suffer such a painful death, than Jesus? It took someone that could.

And because of what he did, once we accept his forgiveness for it, we are no longer condemned, but have been freed from hell's clutches. We can then claim the promises of God and get to spend eternity with Christ.

What then, shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin, that grace may abound? God forbid....Romans 8:1-2

Let sin therefore not reign in your mortal body. that you obey its lust. (vs 12)

For sin shall have no dominion over you for you are no longer under the law but under grace. What then, shall we sin because we are no longer under the law but under grace? God forbid. (vs,14-15)

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have fruit into holiness, and the end everlasting  life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is everlasting life through Christ Jesus. ( vs.22-23)

And so you see Friends, if you are a christian and struggling with the guilt or shame of past or present sin, there is no condemnation from God. He is not condemning you to what you have done, or are doing. He is always here to forgive and so do not let satan steal from you your obedience and forgiveness of God. We are all sinners. we do sin everyday. But we do not have to let it control us because Jesus paid the price for what what we have done, and he gave to us what we don't deserve. 

His grace!
