No Condemnation

Discipline?  Yes.
Trials?  Yes.
Tribulation?  Yes.
Testing of our faith?  Yes.
Battling with the remaining sin in our flesh?  Yes.
Sorrow?  Yes.
Persecution?  Yes, if you live godly in Christ.

Death, and eternal separation from God?  No.

For those who are in Christ Jesus, the penalty and sentencing for our sin, death, is gone, removed, because it fell upon Jesus.

Any other path taken to remove the guilty verdict is the road of condemnation.  Any other road leads to God's wrath.



Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.



In Christ Jesus...









Peace with God?  Yes.
Joy?  Inexpressible at times.
Hope?  With a guaranteed outcome.
Inheritance?  Heirs with Christ.
Love?  God's, shed abroad in our hearts.

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...

No better place in the world to be.
