More than a condemned building

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:1 NLT)

One of my favorite chapters in the Bible, so we are going to spend a few days here. We spend way too much time living condemned. It makes us like a condemned building which is hard to be used.  It says here there is no condemnation for the Christian.  Satan will try to condemn us, others will try to, & sometimes we do it to ourselves.  Unfortunately, authority figures often do this to kids &end up tearing down kids they could be helping.  God however, does not see you as a condemned building. You might have made mistakes in the past.  You might not be good enough.  You might have failed before.  But through Christ, none of that matters because Christ has erased all of that.  He has made your mistakes go away.  He has made you more than good enough & He has turned your failures into victories.  Sometimes we like to bring up past mistakes but God says "not here".  Don't do it to yourself, allow others to do it to you, or do it to someone else.  If God doesn't remember it, why should we?
