Jesus Has Freed Us From The Condemnation Of Sin

'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit," Romans 8:1-4

How is it that we are free from the law of sin and death, I mean just look at us? But according to our Father, we who are in Christ are now free from sin! The answer is very gracious, we don’t sin, because Jesus is just that great. He is that powerful, He is that loving, and He is that awesome! Because Jesus came and freely laid His life down and He absolutely and 100% fulfilled all of the needed requirements of the consequences of sin for us and through the eternal power our Lord, Who ever lives to intercede for us so that we might be saved to the uttermost, we are now totally free from sin.

We are not free from transgressions through our own actions, thank God we aren’t; we are free from sin only because of Jesus’ actions. The penalty has been paid; the consequences have been satisfied. We are free from sin and its powers because Jesus has accomplished what we could not do. The law said that if you sin, than there is death, or separation from God, there would be no eternal life where the penalty and price of sin still existed. But because of Jesus and because of His Blood, that law is now of no effect, the price has been paid, the debt is cancelled, the penalty is fulfilled. If you are empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as Lord, there is no more separation by actions, there is no more condemnation, because we are redeemed, rescued, and delivered from the law of sin and death. Jesus is that Great!
