"...there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" Rom 8:1
Do I really believe this?
Do I live a confident life?
or is it condemned?
.... and if it is by whom?
It seems like this theme comes up over and over in Scripture. It's probably because we think that this whole Jesus thing has to be more complicated then it looks. There must be a trick, a gimmick, some fine print. But there isn't.
There is no Divine finger pointing at you. Jesus didn't come to throw stones, but to save, redeem, restore (JN 3:18). To mend and straighten us who are bent and broken on this thing called life.
In fact, we are told to come confidently to Jesus. When St. John, one of Jesus' best friends, spoke of this he used the Greek word for confidence that meant - "free, fearless, & cheerful courage." What a way to approach God!
So, ask yourself - are you running away from God or to Him? Run and run confidently in the greek-est way you can!
