NO CONDEMNATION – but LOVE

Today's chapter is. Ephesians 3

Read the section verse refers to forgiveness
God our Father's love for his children is so inexhaustible that we can never understand, grasp or measure it. (Eph. 3:14-19). God's love is constant, unchanging and eternal! Sometimes our feelings or experiences can mistakenly suggest otherwise.

In our minds, we think that this great love also goes hand in hand with our good behavior. When we have been good, and have behaved exemplary, we are more loved by God, we think. When we make mistakes or sins, we question it. After many mistakes, we come to the conclusion that God does not care about us anymore, and in our minds, we distance ourselves from God because we give room to this lie in our minds.

The truth is that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! Everything that would condemn us, Jesus has already borne on the cross. Jesus was found guilty in our place, so that we could experience being without condemnation, forever.

THE PRICE HAS BEEN PAID
IT IS COMPLETE!

God does not excuse our sins, He forgives them! He is a loving Father who desires when we fail to bring us back into His embrace and change our lives. (Heb. 12:7). However, He allows us to experience the consequences of our sin and mistakes – but there is NO “divine condemnation”!

Open your heart and your thoughts to God’s love in your life, and in your situation today. Do not let condemnation destroy your relationship with God and people.

Repent, ask for forgiveness, and go away and sin no more.

“There is therefore now condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Rom. 8:1-2

Paul’s Letter to the Philippians.
“But whatever things were gain to me, these I now consider loss for the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead!”
Paul’s Letter to the Philippians. Chapter 3:7-11.
Amen.
