There’s nobody living right, not even one, nobody who knows the score, nobody alert for God. They’ve all taken the wrong turn; they’ve all wandered down blind alleys. No one’s living right; I can’t find a single one. And it’s clear enough, isn’t it, that we’re sinners, every one of us, in the same sinking boat with everybody else?

Romans 3:10-12, 19 MSG

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:6-8

What does this mean for us?

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:1-4

condemn = “to be declared guilty”

You and I need to know that and live in this reality. Why?

If God doesn’t condemn us, why would we let Satan condemn us?
If God doesn’t condemn us, why would we condemn ourselves?
If God doesn’t condemn us, why would we let someone else condemn us?
