Are you in or out?

Romans 8: 1

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus….

This verse is often taken out of context.

I hear people say, that they’re not condemned because of their sin.

The key word in this verse is, “in”.

Jesus and John the Baptist preached more about repentance than anyone else in the bible.

When we confess and then turn away from our sin (repentance), we have entered a wonderful relationship with the Savior.

We become new people. (2 Cor. 5: 17) We are “in” Christ Jesus!

It’s when we step out of that relationship, that trouble comes into play.

Condemnation comes, when we decide to revisit that old life style.

Tell me you’ve never felt it?

Bear in mind, that our burdens have been lifted at Calvary.

Why anyone would want to carry that burden of sin, guilt and shame, is beyond me.

Satan labels you and me as worthless trash.

God the Father has engraved our names, on the palm of His hand. (Isaiah 49:16)

I know where I’m living today.

I’m living in the “in” crowd!!
