God Isn't Condemning Us

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1

Have you ever been around religious people who are always finding fault with themselves? They do this because they do not know who they are in Christ. For whatever reason they have not been empowered by the Holy Spirit to allow God to indwell them, and they are trying to earn their relationship with God through works. And the Truth is that they never will! My kids, Kennedy and Lauren, never could do anything to become my kids; Beth and I had to birth them. Without me they would not be, they have fellowship with me, because Beth and I chose to have them, they are built upon the foundation of Beth and I! It’s exactly the same with God; we are not earning our fellowship and our unity with God, because it has been given to us. God birthed us, He chose to have us, we have been born again of His seed, we are only alive because of Him. His Spirit is within us, and our characteristics are directly from Him. We have the new heart that He has given us, we now have the mind of Christ, we are members of His body, of His flesh, His bones, and we now have His Spirit! Now as children we will grow, but as children our parents determine what we are, our DNA, our genes are directly from them, and our Father is now God, we have been born again form His Incorruptible Seed! You can’t be born of God and have the characteristics of another father, it’s impossible, we are from His seed. Now a person could tell you that they are Beth and mines child, but there testimony would be false. Only those children born of us, are ours!

Now if Beth and I are able to do this how much more has God done with us? He not only birthed us, He now indwells us, so that we will never be apart from Him. He has sealed us with His very Spirit, and He ever lives to intercede for us. Unlike with human parents and kids, we are never left alone; we are constantly in fellowship with our Father. Never does satan or evil have an opportunity to grab us because we are separated, we are now the Holy Habitation of God, we are His friends, and we are His kids! Satan can only do to us what he can do to God, and that is nothing! God is the perfect Father and He knows how to raise us into perfect children. I don’t think this is talked about enough. We say Father, but it’s just words, God is our Father and we are His kids, we are His habitation, and Who He is has been born into us and we are now one with it. Our Father is love, and through Christ we are now one with it, how can we be anything but love, it’s where we came from, it’s what we are one with? And of course we are holy, because our Father, the One Who sanctifies us, is Holy, and we are one with Him!
