Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
God has condemn our sins and failures on the body of Jesus.... past, present and future.... sin is very bad... it destroys lifes and have brings bad consequences.... however God knows that after He punished our sins on the cross we don't have to live under condemnation as Jesus took our condemnation on Himself.... the least bit we can respond to God is to live by righteousness, peace and joy... that is the right respond.. that is faith respond which pleases God... what if we commit sin after becoming christian? Do we need to feel condemn? ... all sin still have consequence... however God doesnt wan a believer to live under condemnation... He does want the believer to be convicted and repent, get out of the sin and move on believing in His forgiveness... all sin have consequence ... but God still wants us to focus on the fact that we are made righteous by the finished work of His Son..when we do fail in our christian life... we must learn to repent..... accept the consequence... but also forgive ourselves and receive the mercy of God.... we must remember God still sees us based on wat He did on the cross.... as righteous child of God.... God doesnt want believers to live under guilt and condemnation... He doesnt want us to serve Him becos we feel guilty and condemn in our conscience.... He wants us to knw we are the righteousness of God in Christ.... we are blessed.... forgiven... redeemed.... He wants us to walk by faith....serve Him becos He love us and we love Him, believing we are righteousness of God in Christ... thats why faith pleases God...... never serve GOd becos you want Him to do things for you... He is more willing to answer ur prayer due to His love for u.... God has paid your healing, your blessing, your forgiveness on the cross... your job is to believe and receive it thru Christ... You cant pay for your blessing, forgiveness and healing... you can only believe and receive by faith as God has already purchased for you on the cross.... it is by grace thru faith, not works, lest any should boast... so now when you serve God or do good works... its a matter of sowing and reaping and rewards... not to earn or pay for your healing or forgiveness or blessings.... forgiveness and healing and blessings is paid by God on the cross and received by grace thru faith...
