There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ

Many of us walk through out life with a burden of guilt and shame even after we have confessed our sins and have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior which is something that was not in God's plan when he gave His only son in our place. When Jesus died, His purpose was to redeem us and reconcile us with the Father- He died in our place so we wouldn't have to carry the burden of sin and condemnation. That is why Paul writes in Romans 8:1- There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This is because when He was crucified, all that had been ours was His, The yoke that had been ours He took as His own and freed us- where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. There is therefore no reason for you to walk around with the guilt and shame that you used to carry before you were in Christ for the old has passed, behold the new has come! God does not only forgive our trespasses, He forgets them and are never remembered- so stop condemning yourself and press on to what is before you!
