No Condemnation!
No Condemnation!
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.
Jesus and Condemnation
Jesus and Condemnation
The Woman Caught in Adultery
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
Jesus did not come to condemn sinners but to save them
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Jesus came to condemn sin in the flesh
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,
Jesus came to give the gift of justification to those condemned in sin
Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Divine Discipline Rescues from Condemnation
Divine Discipline Rescues from Condemnation
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”
But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
The Sources of Condemnation
The Sources of Condemnation
The Condemnation of the Law
The Law of God is called the Ministry of Condemnation
For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
The Law reveals our love for sin, unbelief, and rebellion against God
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
The Law of God is our teacher to bring us to Christ
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
The Condemnation of Men
The wicked are quick to judge and condemn the innocent and the righteous
Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.
The wicked condemn others, and thus, condemn themselves
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
God will defend and deliver the righteous
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
The Condemnation of our Own Heart (Conscience)
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.
And David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”
For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
The Condemnation of the Devil
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
There is Condemnation apart from Christ
There is Condemnation apart from Christ
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
There is No Condemnation in Christ
There is No Condemnation in Christ
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
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.
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
Response to the Word
Response to the Word
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Confess your sins to God.
Believe that God is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins.
Believe that the blood of Jesus has cleansed you from all unrighteousness.
Receive the gift of righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ and His work on the Cross.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.
