No Condemnation for Those Who Are in Christ
Playback speed
The world has enough negativity without us adding to it. As Christians, when we see someone struggling to perform perfectly but missing the mark, we need to encourage them, not condemn them. This encouragement should include ministering the truth to them about their identity as believers who have Christ living in them. . Believing that we’re the righteousness of God changes our behaviour.

From Condemnation to Grace
For us as Christians, the feeling of being condemned is the root of multiple issues we struggle with. Condemnation is responsible for fear; failure to understand this leads to stress, which brings physical and emotional illnesses and diseases. The only one who can make us enough is Jesus Christ. He’s the one who frees us from the old covenant of the law and enables us to minister the new covenant of grace to others.
