No Condemnation

Readings:
Nehemiah 3
Romans 8:1-4

Focus:
Romans 8:1: "It follows that there is now no condemnation for those who are united with Christ Jesus."

This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. Just think about it. What a wonderful thing to read! No matter what we've done or failed to do, if we are united with Jesus Christ, then we are not condemned!

Of course in order to be united with Christ, we must be sorry for our past wrongs, and be resolved to do better. But there is no condemnation. We are free! Our future is filled with hope. And we have the Son of God, with all his power, to deal with sin on our behalf and help us as we continue.

There is now no condemnation for those who are united with Christ Jesus. Thanks be to God!
