NO CONDEMNATION FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE IN CHRIST
(Romans 5:18-20) Therefore as by the offence of one JUDGEMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN TO CONDEMNATION; even so by the righteousness of one the FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN UNTO JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Now see this....(Roman 8: 1 ) ¶ There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Sin came because of the law. Judgement came because of sin and condemnation came because of judgement.There is no law for those who are in Christ Jesus so there is no sin to those who are in Christ Jesus and then there is no judgement to those who are in Christ Jesus .Therefore there is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. (1John 3:9) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God
Condemnation is only for the sinful flesh under the influence of the law. But Christ took the condemnation of sin in the sinful flesh.(Romans 8:4- 3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
We are led by the Spirit therefore we are not under the law.We should not live in condemnation. We are in Christ. The righteousness of the law has been fulfilled in us. We are not walking after flesh but after the spirit. There is a change of course for us. We are on the road that leads to everlasting life Hallelujah. Our interest is after the Spirit.
