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.
Condemnation is a horrible thing. To live this life walking around with shame,guilt, poor self esteem or even a sense of you are not good enough is a horrible way way to live your life.
Even God knows this is a horrible way for people to live out their lives – Which is why He sent His son into the world; top pay the penalty for our sin; our shame; our shortcomings.
When the Bible says there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus – it means there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. If you are carrying around condemnation you never got it from God! You got it from somewhere else!
You might have sinned the same sin for 1,000,003rd time – You feel so frustrated that you feel the need to walk around with a sense a shame! Don’t do it! As long as you repent and ask for forgiveness there is no condemnation! Some christians know this scripture but still feel the need to walk around with shame as a form humility – Don’t do this! This is a false humility – and whenever you feel the need to wallow in self condemnation you are saying that the blood of Jesus was not enough to deal with your of sin!
Jesus never came into the world so we could take on a life that makes us feel bad because we constantly fail high moral standards! Far from it – He came into the world that we might be free from that very existence!! In John 10:10 He said that reason He came into the world was that so we may have LIFE and have it more ABUNDANTLY!!
If you are wallowing in shame about something then repent and then get over it! If you still feel bad after that then repent for feeling bad because Jesus already paid the highest price so that you can live life abundantly!!
