Condemnation


Romans 8:1,34 - There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Romans 6:11,14 - So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus…For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Application:

·         Three reasons are given as to why no one can condemn me: (1) Christ died for me; (2) He is alive and seated at the right hand of God, the position of power; (3) He is interceding for me.
·         Law provides no enablement to resist the power of sin; it only condemns the sinner.
·         I am in Christ because I have died with Christ and have been raised to new life with Him.
