Condemnation is a common word. We feel condemned when we commit sin. But the Bible clearly gives us a message of freedom from condemnation.

In Romans 8:1 we read, “…there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. This is a freedom giving verse in the Bible.

Why does it says, “…there is now no condemnation”? On the cross, Jesus dealt with our guilt and condemnation. We don’t need to carry it any more. As soon as we become God’s children, we are freed from guilt and condemnation.

Satan will try to put his condemning thoughts into our minds. He will bring thoughts like “you have done wrong”, “you cannot escape from this sin”, and “God is against you because of this sin and that’s why you are going through this problem”.

But don’t listen to his lies! Once you ask God for forgiveness, you are completely cleansed by the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7, 9). Don’t carry guilt in your mind. Don’t keep on asking God for forgiveness. When you repent, God forgives you and He will not keep your sins in His mind!

When you go through problems, condemning thoughts may arise as if these problems are a result of the past sins that you had committed. But it may not be the consequence of your sins. Remember that you are the righteousness of God through Christ!

Holy Spirit will always convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment. So the Holy Spirit who resides in you will lead you to repent the moment you commit sin. Remember that the Holy Spirit will never condemn you.

Condemnation may take you to the place of loneliness where you feel that no one loves you and nobody wants you. Don’t give in to such thoughts.

God who loves you more than anyone else is with you even in your imperfections. The Bible notes in Romans 5 that Jesus loved all of us even while we were sinners! God loves everyone through Jesus. He is with you to help you conquer your imperfections. So relax. Cheer up. Repent whenever you err. And stand up with boldness!

Listen to the song : There Is Therefore No Condemnation

Hello everyone, I am Flor from Mexico, I want to share my first experience of a mission trip with a group of 12 and we went to Tlanchinol, Hidalgo Mexico last week.

When we arrived to Tlanchinol the people were polite with us, in spite of very few facilities (technology, electrical light, water) the life is great anyway. We saw the mountains very close.

First we visited Tenango and Cuatepextla Tlanchinol Hidalgo. We started to walk to invite people to the first service at “Aposento Alto Church” we were walking a lot because the houses are very far, we really saw that they need to have a closer relationship with God, stay on focus with him, many people attended the first service to watch the movie “Ropa Nueva Para Felipe”. It talks about a boy who was sick. His family tried all ways to heal him (doctors, witchcraft), at the end they went to a church and this boy was healed by God´s power. After that we sang together to finish the first service. Our group was connecting with the people there.

The next day we had two services at morning and evening, also we went to invite more people and lots of children this time, in fact the first service was specially for children, as the bible said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Mark 10:14). We taught them a biblical lesson represented with dramas. They learned some verses, christian songs, and also participated telling some verses and they won some scholar articles. The children are very intelligent they learn quickly, at the end we gave them a delicious food.

While the other service we ate “a delicious mole” (traditional mexican food) and got ready to start the second service. We wish to do it on the street but it was raining, then the service happened at the church. That day an amazing miracle occurred there, the resident Pastor who since 35 years ago did not hear well, was healed by the God´s power. We have a GOD of wonders.

He told: “I did not hear when someone was calling me, they needed to repeat many times the same, and now I hear them perfectly”. Glory to the Lord! He gave us a victory in that church. They invited us again, and we were all praying for God´s will.

After that we went to San Felipe Tlanchinol Hidalgo “Casa del Alfarero Church”, we talked with the Pastor about the plans there, and then went to invite neighbors giving candies, balloons, bible brochures on the street. This is very important, because many times they are so shy to come to the church. We must be the Light in the Darkness. “to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.” (Acts 26:18).

As well, we bought some articles to give to ladies and children. They watched the same movie, we believe God touched their hearts. Normally only few attended this church but the day we were there, lots of people turned up. Praise the Lord. We believe in Jesus Name, it will be going better every day. Also we were invited to come there again. We are blessed with this kind of trips, because we can show God´s love to others. And share the Holy scriptures.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

I am thankful to God. Congratulations to this website! God bless You All!
