BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: THERE’S NOW – NO MORE CONDEMNATION – IN CHRIST JESUS!
“But God, who is RICH in MERCY, for his great LOVE wherewith He LOVED US, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath QUICKENED US together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath RAISED US up together, and MADE US sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness TOWARD US through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:4-9.
What a freedom. What an awesome, a gracious and a graceful life to live now and always in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead – to receive the heavenly God pardon by being loved, forgiven, discharged and acquitted, received and made blameless and guiltless, and then QUALIFIED to access His presence and share in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
What men can’t offer and do, God had offered and given to us without conditionalities, prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation – by saying to us for NOW, today and tomorrow that – THERE’S NO MORE CONDEMNATION – FOR BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. And that settles it all to live with hope, faith and love. Amen.
GLORY!
HALLELUJAH!!
MAY OUR GOD BE FOREVER PRAISE!!!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Therefore THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION [NO GUILTY VERDICT, NO PUNISHMENT] for those who ARE in Christ Jesus [who BELIEVE in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. 2 For THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE [which is] in Christ Jesus [THE LAW OF OUR NEW BEING] has set you free from THE LAW OF SIN AND OF DEATH” Romans 8:1-2/AMP.
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.
“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. For He has RESCUED US and has DRAWN US to Himself FROM THE DOMINION OF DARKNESS, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14/AMP.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED US, and WASHED US from our sins in His own blood, 6 and hath MADE US kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.
