No Condemnation

May 17

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1).

Condemnation comes as a result of having a sin consciousness. However, when we live according to the Word of God and maintain a consciousness of our righteousness in Christ Jesus, we are not subject to condemnation.

KJV Dictionary Definition

CONDEMN, v.t. L., to condemn, to disapprove, to doom, to devote.

1. To pronounce to be utterly wrong; to utter a sentence of disapprobation against; to censure; to blame. But the word often expresses more than censure or blame, and seems to include the idea of utter rejection; as, to condemn heretical opinions; to condemn ones conduct.

As Christians we are not subject to point the finger at what is wrong or condemn others or judge others. Moreover, we are not subject to condemn ones conduct. So in other words it is not our place to condemn others, because Christ saved us from our own sins; I don't want to concentrate on disapproving, condemning, devoting, or judging the ones that are not saved/living in willful sin but, yet lure them to Christ's Lovingkindness. Because once he or she is saved they will gain a sin consciousness.

Warning against Judging Others

¹¹ Don’t speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters. If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. ¹² God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?
