| God Does Not Condemn You |
|
| |
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. If you have ever done anything wrong, you know how guilty you feel! Guilt is a powerful emotion that speaks to our conscience that tells us that we are in trouble! In trouble to who for what? Have you ever done something wrong even when no one is looking? Yet you feel bad If proves that there is a God and that we are indeed accountable to someone. It also proves that God is Holy, pure and righteous. Our guilt tells us that we deserve to be punished. It is a truth that we know in our hearts that we indeed are condemned for the errors of our ways, yet, that is the good news of the message of Jesus Christ. Even though you are guilty and ashamed and have erred and made mistakes God came into this world not to condemn us but to save us. You don't usually need anyone to tell you that you are a sinner you already know that! What you need to hear is that there is a remedy for our sins and that God has come to take our sin away. The Bible tells us that the sin of our lives were laid upon Him and that He who knew no sin became sin for us that we might have God's righteousness! God did not come to tell us that we are wrong He knew that we knew that He came to forgive us and reconcile us to Himself. He loves us and wants us to have eternal fellowship! This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance: Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners. Yep, He came to save us and because of His love for us He became a substitute for you and me. He does not condmen you, He stands at the door of your heart and knocks the question is will you answer the door and let Him in? He has come to be with you not to judge you and condemn you. That's good news! |

Amen! The Holy Spirit Convicts Believers, and does not condemn them. Those who are unbelievers, God/Christ Jesus, Condems them, Yet, actually they condemn themselves. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. The Lord God of Hosts is not to be toyed with; Here is who He Condemned: II Peter 2:4-6 4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly |
