No Condemnation

Romans 8:1-2 : There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 5:17 : For they which RECEIVE abundance of GRACE, and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign as kings in life by Christ Jesus.

Come to know and feel the beauty of this gift that God has freely given to you. Yes, you. It is true that He has forgiven you all your trespasses and sins. He has righted all your wrongs. He has pardoned you for all the rubbish you keep beating yourself up over; the ones you felt bad for and those you didn't feel bad about. God is not out to tell you the problem with you, He has gone all the way out to save you from the problems...and from yourself. As soon and as long as you have believed in Jesus, that He died for your sins and was raised on the third day for you to become God's friend and child, you're good. You are righteous. You are clean. You are in God's league.

Hold on to this freedom from guilt and condemnation. Don't let anyone take you back into that place! The moment you start feeling overwhelmed by feelings and thoughts of insecurity, inferiority, shame, fear and doubt, know that you have been listening to the wrong words. Keep your ears open for the sound of love; He speaks everyday through His Word. Don't let anyone keep pushing your wrong and your shortcomings into your face. Refuse it! Hold on to God's grace as though your life depends on it- because it does! Allow the "feelings" of His love and forgiveness wash over you every day; enjoy that lightness in your heart and do not collect any more burdens of guilt. This way, you will always have the upper hand in life for you will never have to approach problems on the platform of what you can or cannot do but on what Jesus has done!
God loves you dearly.
