“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus”

25/9/2015

From the very beginning, God has given us moral laws. And what was wrong from the beginning is still wrong today in His sight.

All the way through the Bible, immorality is listed along with murder and idolatry. In the Old Testament God demanded the death penalty for this sin. In 1 Corinthians 6 the Bible says that no immoral person can inherit the kingdom of God. There are hundreds of passages that indicate the wrath of God is being stored up against those who commit such sins.

What a horrible condemnation this is, and yet this is the Scripture.

But to the desperate soul, fully aware of all his or her sin and failure, there is joyful assurance: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

Prayer
Dearest Lord, I will never be able to thank You enough for the grace, mercy and forgiveness that You have made available to me through Jesus. Thank You for sending Him as my deliverer. Please help me to trust and follow You more. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Billy Graham

While much of what is written in this Blog may currently appear to be counter-cultural, given our post-truth culture, it is in no way counter-human beings. I am always for people no matter what they think, do, or may have done in their past. Where I put forward ideas or debate against certain ideology, behaviour, ideas, movements, politics, I remain very much on the side of the human beings even though I may be opposed to their worldview, behaviour and politics. Such opposition is generally out of concern for the ultimate consequences of such behaviour or ideas, especially for children.
