Who Am I? I am free from condemnation

I am free from condemnation. |
I love these verses. 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,a]" class="footnote">[a]" class="footnote">aa]" class="footnote">] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
I lived in shame and guilt for too long, even after accepting the Lord, because I could not grasp the depth of these verses. Time and time again, I beat myself up for my past, not only what I did before my salvation, but things I have done as a child of His. Yet, His Word is Truth. HE says I am free from condemnation.
Too many of our brothers and sisters attend churches that are critical and condemning. Legalism and pet sins to judge are still rampant in many bodies of Christ. I praise the Lord that I attend a church where we celebrate this truth, and are encouraged to live out our lives in obedience.
Have a great weekend.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hi, Trish.
Satan, while he knows we are free from condemnation, tries to get us to believe we are not. Of course, there is a difference between condemnation and conviction. Satan brings condemnation to the believer for the purpose of drawing him/her down, down, down. The Holy Spirit brings conviction, to nudge each person to the Cross, each believer to reconciliation.
If we, as believers, are indulging in sin, we play into Satan's hands. God's Grace, after salvation, is meant to encourage us not to sin, not excuse our sin.
I, too, allowed the enemy to bring condemnation into my mind. Finally, I got revelation on who I am in Christ, so Satan is less successful at using that weapon against me. There are times, though, that he is successful...for a time. This is why it's so important to be in the Word and in prayer daily. If not, we get a crack in our Armor.
Have a great day, and thanks for posting the next truth.
Blessings,
Mary

AMEN!! You are so right on! I have often struggled in the past with self-worth issues, which creep back in with Who do I think I am? Who am I to do such & such or to say such and such, but Saturday I realized, even MOSES had those same thoughts - He often argued with God and said he wasn't up for the job! & look how God moved through him!!!! Praise GOD!!! God has confidence in me! & in you!! even when I/we don't! Don't cha just LOVE God?!?!
Blessings to you in Jesus' Name,
