Thoughts on no condemnation: Romans 8:1 Nipto

Dear God,

I've kinda already said this down farther. But thank you for being such a great dad, and thank you for the amazing knowledge and truth that we have NO condemnation for those of us who are in Christ Jesus. THANK YOU.

Love,



Romans 8

This'll be quick, but I had other posts to think about :-P

There is no condemnation for those in Christ. I have no condemnation. I don't think I actually know what that means. I'm almost tempted to stop there and really think about that. I actually might. Gimme a sec...

Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...

Yess....

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those (of us) who are in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, there is now NO condemnation for those (of us) who are in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, (because we are no longer slaves to sin, but to righteousness,) THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. (wow I feel like I'm shouting.)

I should be shouting. This is joyful news. This is what will save the whole world. If I know this verse, If I know this verse deep down in the core of my being and in every inch of my being, and I portray that, and other people portray that, this world could be change. This, my dears, is a world changer.

No matter what you have done, no matter what sin/crime you have committed, whether it could get you in jail or in counseling or made an outcast, or whether it has made you rich and famous and loved by all... You are LOVED by God. This God loves you like a true Father should. This God made a way for us to know him, and through this way of knowing him, there is no condemnation. There is NO Condemnation. Your sins are completely washed clean. God will never again look at you in such a way as to make you feel like you are doomed. God is no longer someone to be Feared--respected-feared, yes--but not FEAR feared. You can know Him, and he will accept you with open arms. He already knows you. He knows all of your deeds.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Live today like you know that.
