NO JUDGMENT

John 3:18 "There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God."

      If you have put your trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins, there is now no more judgment hanging over your soul. God accepts you as His child on the basis of the righteousness of Christ. When God peers into your soul He does not see beyond Christ. Behind Christ lies your sin-infested heart, but Jesus protects you from God's wrath. As far as God is concerned, you are holy in His eyes. The more we live in Christ, the freer we become from sin. The freer we become, the more we are at peace with God and the more we experience the joy of our salvation.

       If you do not trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins, you stand guilty before God. God's judgment is absolute. If we don't believe that Jesus takes away our sin, our sin will haunt us. If you do not accept Jesus as your Savior, you have no hope of escaping God's wrath and condemnation to hell. You will never be free from the consequences of sin.

      If you do not believe that Jesus has forgiven you after you are saved, you will be plagued by a false guilt and shame. You will never be free to enjoy the joy associated with forgiven sin. Forgiveness is not just a word; it's a reality for those who would believe and receive it.  Don't let Satan haunt you with forgiven sin!  What's under the blood stays under the blood.  God will never remind you of your forgiven past.  It is no more.  As far as the east is from the west He has removed our sins from us.  In other words, “Gone, gone, yes my sins are gone!”

      Dear friend, if you are a child of God today, believe it! Believe that Jesus has forgiven you and given you victory over your sin. Believe that there is no condemnation hanging over your soul. Believe that you can now resist the temptations to sin. Believe that Jesus can and will help you if you will only let Him. To those who believe He gives not only life, but life more abundantly.

        Jesus took the punishment you deserved for your sins upon himself at Calvary.  He has set you free, and you are free indeed!
