No condemnation to those who are in Christ…

Now therefore there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who

do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1

Why is there condemnation?

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

1 Corinthians 15:56

Whenever you disobey one of the laws of God the enemy is there to accuse you.

Remember the enemy is the accuser of the brothers.

What do you think he accuses you of?

Why he accuses you continually of what you haven’t done right, how you have

violated this law or that law from Gods word. Where you have missed it

concerning the things of God.

1Corintians 15:56 says that the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin

Is the law.

Let’s read it backwards, maybe we can get a better light of the word.

The law produces the strength of sin, and sin produces death.

Paul says in Romans 7:7; I would not have known sin except through the law.

So the condemnation comes from not obeying the law, which turns to guilt, which

then turns to condemnation, condemnation into sin, which turns into death,

which turns to guilt. Do you get the picture?

Its a tread mill the enemy wants to keep us on.

However the Word of God states there is NOW no condemnation for those who are

In Christ.

How come there now no condemnation?

Colossians 2:14 says

Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements ( law ) that was against us,

which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it

to the cross. Nailed what to the cross?

The law of sin and death.
