Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Observation
No condemnation in Christ! No penalty. No disapproval. No judgment. When we are in Christ, we belong to Him. The debt of our sin has been paid to the full! God's Spirit dwells in all who are in Christ Jesus and have opened their hearts to Him. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set us free from the law of sin and death!
Application
I am free. I am in Christ. This means a new beginning - the old is gone and the new has come! There is no condemnation from my past sins and failings. God's grace has covered me and I am free to live free under His love, in His grace, and in His wisdom. This advent season I choose to live in hope, peace, joy, and love because of the person of Advent: Jesus Christ.
Prayer
Father, thank You that you brought me to a place of realizing my need for a Savior. You brought me to Jesus, Your beloved Son. I give You thanks Sovereign LORD, Almighty God, for the kindness You have shown me by setting me free. May my life bring glory to Your Holy Name. In Jesus Name, the Name above all names I pray, A-men.
