NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 (KJV)
Keep walking boldly, with your shoulders raised high, because there is now no condemnation for you in Christ. No adjudging guilty of wrong to those who are in Christ Jesus. If there was any time you needed to walk in this understanding in your walk with God, it is now.
Never allow your life to be defined by an event that went wrong somewhere along the line. All your sins, past, present, and future, have been forgiven. If you do not know this, the devil will continue to accuse and condemn you. The devil lies to you that God is about to drop a hammer on your head for every mistake you make, and as a result, your boldness before God disappears, and you live in constant fear and condemnation.
Over the years, the mistaken idea has been that God’s wrath and judgment are on anyone who falls short of His righteous requirement. To fully understand and apply the Bible, you must know the dispensation that God was dealing with in its different accounts. God dealt with each dispensation differently. You cannot apply His dealings with those under the law as though they were under grace. God deals with the new creation under grace, so you cannot apply the law. The new creation enjoys the grace of God.
I encourage you to stop walking around with your face down because of guilt. There is so much God has in stock for you that the devil wants you to lose when you walk around in ignorance. Arise today and enforce the devil’s defeat. You have nothing to fear because you have the victory. When God says fear not, it is because He knows that you have a tendency to be afraid. So, He goes ahead of the devil to say ‘’Fear not’’. God does not just say fear not and leave it hanging. No! He says fear not because the challenges you saw yesterday you will see no more forever.
