In Christ Jesus

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for who He is, for His love for us, for sending Jesus to die on the Cross for us. We give Him all the glory in Jesus name, amen. The Word of the Lord tells us that:

Primary Text

 “THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.” Romans 8v1 (AMP)

In Christ Jesus, we have so many things. For one, we are free from condemnation. Jesus came into the world, not to condemn it, but that through Him, the world might be saved (John 3v17). Romans 5v8-11 (NIV) tells us “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” What then is the implication for us? By accepting the reconciliatory work of Christ, we are justified – and free from condemnation. Hallelujah! Romans 8v29-34 (TLB) says “For from the very beginning God decided that those who came to Him—and all along He knew who would—should become like His Son, so that His Son would be the First, with many brothers. And having chosen us, He called us to come to Him; and when we came, He declared us “not guilty,” filled us with Christ’s goodness, gave us right standing with Himself, and promised us His glory. What can we ever say to such wonderful things as these? If God is on our side, who can ever be against us? Since He did not spare even His own Son for us but gave Him up for us all, won’t He also surely give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? Will God? No! He is the one who has forgiven us and given us right standing with Himself. Who then will condemn us? Will Christ? No! For He is the One who died for us and came back to life again for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us there in heaven.”

Prayer

Father, we thank You for Your Word this day. Thank You for saving us, and calling us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to Your own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. Thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Jesus name, amen.
