** FRUIT OF THE WORD DEVOTIONS * CONDEMNATION * December 4, 2013 * **


CONDEMNATION

Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, 2 because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
Romans 8:1-2 (HCSB)


God assures me that there is not condemnation for those who belong to Him. Though, I believe Christ has freed me from sin --through His death on the cross --I continue to struggle with feelings of condemnation. I long to experience the full liberation God has made possible --His Spirit can assist me with this.

I ask the Holy Spirit to help me find freedom from feelings of accusation. I acknowledge that those feelings have no basis in reality. Then I look to God through eyes of faith. I delight myself in His heavenly of approval. The more I connect with Him by focusing on His Presence, the more I can receive His loving affirmation. The best antidote to feelings of condemnation is experiencing His love for me.

I can also fight condemning feelings by pondering the truths of the gospel. The devil is the Father of lies, and He specializes in deception. Confront His hellish lies with biblical truth.

Finally, I remember that His Spirit is the Spirit of Life. Feelings of condemnation drain me of energy, leaving me vulnerable. As His Spirit fills me with Life, I am empowered to live abundantly --to the full.
