NO CONDEMNATION!
WE ARE
COMPLETELY FREE!


Romans 8:1
“There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

This morning on the blog, OF FIRST IMPORTANCE , todays quote is:






CJ Mahaney, THE CROSS CENTERED LIFE, 39,40 :
“Because of the gospel’s power, you can be completely free of all condemnation. Not mostly free, COMPLETELY free! Don’t buy the lie that cultivating condemnation and wallowing in your shame is somehow pleasing to God, or that a constant, low grade guilt will somehow promote holiness and spiritual maturity. It’s just the opposite! God is glorified when we believe with all our hearts that those who trust in can never be condemned. It’s only when we receive his free gift of grace and live in the good of total forgiveness that we are able to turn, from old sinful ways of living and walk in grace-motivated obedience.” (CJ Mahaney, THE CROSS CENTERED LIFE, 38-40)

I am reveling and resting in the good of the gospel and the greatness of God today! THIS is good news!!!!
