Through One Man

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death.” Romans 8:1-2

Through one man came death and condemnation, but through another man came life, life that allows us to live over sin and death and to be found right in the sight of God.  This man, Jesus Christ!

Because of His obedience, His action, and His love, you and I can walk in the kindness of God. We can also walk with confidence knowing that no matter what we are loved, adored, beautiful, accepted, forgiven, wanted, of value, purpose, meaning, and saved by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Brethren God does not condemn His children. Nor should we condemn our brothers and sisters or ourselves. We should esteem one another the way Christ esteems us, His very own children. Let’s start being more like our Father and less like the man who brought death and condemnation because of his sin.

Prayer: Jesus thank You for obeying God and going all the way to the cross. Help us to focus more on Your goodness. Amen
