NO CONDEMNATION!
John 3:16-18
“For God so loved the world
that He GAVE His one
and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is
not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
No matter what anyone says or thinks,
No matter what you say or think,
You are NOT Condemned.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”
-Romans 8:1,2
“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
-Romans 7:15-25
