NO MORE CONDEMNATION, HE IS RISEN (EASTER SUNDAY) (1)
THE SEED
“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.” Rom 8:1
We stand on the solid foundation of the glorious truth that there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Apostle Paul declared this freedom with great conviction in our opening scripture. This is not just a statement of comfort, but a declaration of our new identity, sealed by the sacrifice of Jesus, who died but death could not hold Him bound, so He rose on the third day to declare our victory. In Christ, we are no longer bound by the guilt, shame, and penalties of our past sins, for His grace has redeemed us. The thrust of this truth is the realisation that condemnation has been removed because of the finished work of Christ on the cross. Jesus bore our sins, our guilt, and our shame, taking the punishment we deserved. The scripture recorded that Jesus Christ was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds, we are healed. In Him, the full wrath of God was satisfied, leaving us justified and free from the power of condemnation. Beloved of Christ, do not allow the enemy to keep you bound in condemnation of your past, it is your responsibility to set yourself free from the chain of condemnation, because Jesus has set you free and you are free indeed if you believe so. Therefore walk in the confidence that no one can condemn who God has redeemed. You are free from the past, secure in your future, and empowered to live in victory. Through Christ, “there is no more condemnation.”
BIBLE READING: Romans 8:1 -4
PRAYER: Father, I proclaim my freedom from the bounds of guilt and condemnation today and I believe that the death of Christ has made me free indeed, Amen.
