DAD'S RAMBLINGS – The Source Of Condemnation
Romans 8:33-34
"Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us."
This chapter began with the grand declaration that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). So why do I sometimes feel condemned about the past? Where does that come from? I know that is it not from God because Jesus said that He did not come to condemn but to save (John 3:17). Condemnation comes from Satan, who is continually accusing me before God (Revelation 12:10). But Jesus is also there, interceding for me. I can imagine Him rebut Satan's charges, saying, "Father, I died for John's sins. He is no longer under judgment because they are covered by My blood." Praise God, I don't have to live under condemnation for past sins. Jesus is taking care of that.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Even though Satan condemns me, Jesus is interceding for me.
Have a guilt-free day. Love you.
