Rescued from Guilty Condemnation
Colossians 1:13-14
Guilt leads to regret
We can be defined by guilt
Once we let guilt define us, then guilt defeats us
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
THREE TYPES OF CONDEMNATION THAT DO NOT EXIST IN THE LIFE OF A FOLLOWER OF JESUS:
1. There is no God condemnation
2. There is no self-condemnation
3. There is no others condemnation
And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. Romans 8:2
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Romans 8:3
“You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ 22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. Matthew 5:21-22
The grip of guilt will destroy us, but the grace of God will allow us to live in freedom
“I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way that HE loves us.” – David Crowder “How He Loves” Song
