The only place where you find no condemnation is in Christ Jesus.

So the devils name tells us that he goes straight to the root of your
problems. He doesnt come to you and say, let your business slide or
Neglect your children. On the contrary, he comes to say things like, How
can you let the business slide? or Call yourself a Christian! Call yourself a
good father. Youre a lousy father! He accuses you till you feel condemned.
And he uses the law, which is holy, good and just, to condemn you. That is
why condemnation the root cause of all your problems is so subtle.
That is why condemnation usually goes undetected.
I have realized that the devil hasnt changed his tactics even with a church
like ours where I preach so strongly against condemnation. Do you know
why? Because he has no other tactic! He has no other weapon! The devil
cannot enforce the curse in your life apart from condemnation. The devil
cannot make you sick apart from condemnation. You have to cooperate with
him and receive the condemnation first.

God Disarmed The Devil At The Cross

having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was
against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out
of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15Having disarmed
principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing over them in it.

The Key To No Condemnation

The fact that you can feel

then, is the key to getting out of
your evil day? What is the key to no
condemnation in your life?
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no
condemnation to those who
are in Christ Jesus

The good news is that God

disarmed the devil at the cross. God
took his only weapon the law
and He nailed it to the cross! Yes,
God has triumphed over the devil
and all his demonic principalities
and powers! Thats why I often tell
the church that we are not fighting
for victory. We are fighting from
victory. The victory is already ours
through the finished work of Christ
at the cross.

The only place where you find

no condemnation is in Christ Jesus.
The word therefore connects
Romans 8:1 to the previous verses
in Romans 7, where Paul talked
about how he was condemned by
the law that he knew so well.
The reason there is therefore
now no condemnation, is that God
loved us so much that He gave us His
Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus came and He was condemned
for our sins at the cross. When He
hung on the cross, God took all
our sins of our entire lives, and He
heaped them on Jesus. Then He
unleashed the vengeance of His fury
against lawlessness and sin on the
body of Jesus Christ until Jesus cried,
It is finished! The reason that you
and I experience no condemnation
today is that all our sins have been
punished and condemned, but in the
