Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus, - Romans 8:1
NIV

It doesn’t matter what we’ve done or what we've been through, when
we put our trust in Christ Jesus, when we believe in Him and what He has done
to reconcile us to God and confess Him as Lord, we can rest assured that we are children of God, eternally
forgiven and perfectly loved. Remember, Jesus took the sins of the entire world once
and for all. Think about it...that means there is hope for every single person on this planet.
We are the ones who needed to be reconciled to God,
not God to us. We are the ones who walked away from Him, but He has never
stopped pursuing us. He so loved us that He gave His only Son, Jesus, and through
faith in Him and His perfect sacrifice of Himself, Jesus reconciled us to God.
He is now our God and our Father; He loves us perfectly and unreservedly.
Beloved, even if you’ve failed, even if you’ve
fallen short, even if you’ve missed it, don’t you ever let the enemy saddle you
with thoughts of guilt, shame or condemnation. Don’t let satan bombard your mind
with accusations. Remember, you are still God's beloved child, His Spirit in you is constantly assuring you of this truth. You have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.
He was made sin so you can be made the very righteousness of God.
When you miss it, when you fail, when you
sin, stop looking at yourself, stop punishing yourself, stop trying to save
yourself, stop trusting in yourself and what you can do to perfect yourself,
remember you cannot do it, no one can, except Christ Jesus our Lord. Our very
best efforts don’t’ even come close to God’s standard of perfection. The only
way out is to trust in Christ Jesus, our Redeemer.
So, stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop wasting precious time... square your shoulders, stand up straight and get back to pursuing your destiny in Christ.
As you fix your mind on Christ Jesus, the Spirit of the Lord
will transform you from the inside out, gradually into His very image. Don’t be
discouraged, you are going from faith to faith, from glory to glory, be at
peace, never forget – you are accepted in the Beloved and in Him you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places!
