Daily Encouragement

No condemnation. Not less condemnation, not condemnation on probation, none. For those who are in Christ Jesus. This is one of the most powerful statements in the entire New Testament.

Condemnation was the result of the old system: You are guilty, you are condemned. In Christ, that verdict is overturned. Not because you are innocent but because Christ bore your guilt. The sentence fell, on him, not on you.

Today: You are not condemned. No accusation has authority over you anymore. Live from this acquittal.

Truth: In Christ there is no more condemnation. The sentence that hung over you fell on Christ. You are acquitted, and this acquittal has no expiration date.

Today practically: If a thought of condemnation comes today, stop it and say: "There is no condemnation for me in Christ." That is not self-deception; it is truth.

Question for you: Where are you still letting yourself be condemned even though you have been acquitted?
