Rom. 8:1
‘Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in
Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].
To be condemned is when express complete disapproval of our person is made by the society, it
could also mean to be sentenced to a particular punishment, especially death.
Rom.3:23 says because of sin all humanity have fallen out of the glory that was bestowed on
them, and Rom.6:23 says the result of that sentence is spiritual death, an eternal separation from
God. The calamity of this condemnation is that Satan now has control of the soul of men,
encouraging and pushing them to do terrible things against the laws of God. In contemporary
times, we see and hear stuffs that was unimaginable a few years ago, all the works of the flesh
listed ion Gal.5:19-21 is now commonplace and is regarded as civilization rather than
abomination. The society is very “woke” to the extent they have concluded that there is no
absolute truth, rather truth is what a fellow believes is their truth -alternative truth, social order
is so broken that even the power of nation state is being crushed underneath. The antichrist is so
at work and continues to recruit people and especially youths and children as young as four year
olds, and most unfortunately using elements in the Church for his destructive acts.
Having said, however we have been warned about these things, the Lord thus has made a way of
escape out of this terrible judgement by giving us His Son, who came to take away and deliver us
all from all sins by destroying the works of Satan!
John. 3:18
“Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for
this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe
[and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been
convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and]
only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who
alone can save him].”
For as many who will not accept the lordship of Jesus stand condemned eternally already, but as
many as come to His saving grace are not in any way condemned , the accuser of the Brethren
have nothing on them because the blood of Jesus has broken the power of sin. It is very important
for those who are in Christ to daily work out their salvation because if they ignore the great
salvation in Christ, there shall be no escaping the penalty of sin.
The good news though is that those who are in Christ have escaped every condemnation and
accusation of Satan, they stand before God as justified
Rom.8:33
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us
in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has
chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]
