Because we are delivered from our sin by Jesus Christ our Lord, we are set free from the law of sin and death. We are also set free from any condemnation by God. There is now no condemnation. Once, our sin condemned us. Our sin was too powerful for the law to save us. But God saved us by sending Jesus to be a sin offering. Because of his sacrifice, we are free. In doing this, God met the requirement of the law, that sin demands a punishment. Jesus took the punishment and condemnation so we would not.

There are two kinds of people in the world. There are those who live by the flesh. They are condemned because they are hostile to God and have their minds on the fleshly desires. They cannot please God, and their end destination is death. The other type is those who have their mind set on the Spirit. Those people have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Their end is life and peace. Which are you? When we accept Jesus into our hearts, we are those who are of life and peace. We are not condemned. We are free in him.


Application: Father, I am not saved by the law, but by you. Now I am no longer controlled by the law of sin but by the Spirit, who has set me free. Thank you, Lord!
One Word: There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus
