Study: No Condemnation

Because of sin, the world stands condemned; But, there is good news! Those who are in Christ are not condemned anymore!

When Jesus Christ came into the world, He did not come to condemn the world because the world was already condemned, and still is;

But, because of God's love, He sent Jesus into the world to save as many people as possible through faith in Jesus.

John 3:16 says:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:17-18 continues...
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."

We were once condemned along with the rest of the world; But, because we now believe in Jesus Christ (His death on the cross for our sins, His burial, and His resurrection from the dead), and have been baptized for the remission of our sins, we are no longer under this world's condemnation.

Romans 8:1 says:
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus".

We thank God for His grace towards us through Jesus Christ, our Lord!


No Condemnation

No harsh judgment
or condemnation
for those who are
in Christ;

No endless pain
in the Lake of Fire
for those with
eternal life.

No agony,
continuously,
because of
the Judge's rod;

No deep
and terrible darkness
away from
the face of God.

Oh, please,
won't you come to Jesus?
Won't you come
to Christ today?

No condemnation
for those in Christ,
or fear of
the Judgment Day.

Constance V. Walden
