Condemnation is one of the worst freedom killers on our planet.
friend, do you ever feel condemnation? Are you in relationships that leave you feeling judged and rejected?
The term “condemnation” is often used in a legal setting. It is usually combined with terms like guilty, accused, sentenced and punished.
Condemnation was always an issue in my life. I felt like I never pleased my father. He rarely affirmed me or expressed love. He focused on my mistakes or shortcomings. He was a very good man but a tough father.
When I became a Christian, the problem continued. I felt so guilty about my past mistakes and personal struggles. I was afraid of God’s rejection or anger. Would He punish me for my thoughts or lack of knowledge? Would He reject me for struggling with temptations?
friend, have you ever felt condemned by God? Have you ever felt condemned by yourself?
Here are a few truths that really helped me conquer this foreboding sense of rejection:
- God is not the accuser of His children: “Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.”” (Revelation 12:10, NKJV)
- Jesus paid the price for all of your sins: “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18, NIV)
- You are saved by grace, not by works: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—” (Ephesians 2:8, NIV)
- There is no condemnation if you are in Christ: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” (Romans 8:1, NIV)
