No Condemnation

I’ve been meditating on Romans 8:1 the last couple of days, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” This verse is a weapon in spiritual warfare that I think some people miss or overlook. The devil likes to attack our minds and he likes to remind of us of who we were before we came to Christ. What’s more, he likes to remind us of the mistakes we’ve made since coming to Christ. This might come as a surprise to some who sit a little higher than others, but Jesus knew we weren’t perfect when He gave His life for ours and God knew and knows every sin we would make before we made the decision to make it. The price Jesus paid on the cross gave a cleansing blood that sets free. It’s not a free pass to sin, but it cleanses a person who is convicted from sin. The devil wants you to live in the mental space of that sin and a no forgiveness mentality because he is facing a life sentence. Don’t buy into it. If you’ve taken it to Your Father, the blood cleanses and forgives. It is time to learn from it and move on. The next time the devil tries to remind you of your past, remind him of who you are in Christ and repeat Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal
