CONDEMNATION - TO BLAME OR SENTENCE. TO DECLARE SOMETHING IS UNFIT TO LIVE IN.
How
many times today have you allowed Satan to condemn you? How many times
have you allowed him to whisper in your ear that you are not worthy of
God's love? One time is too many for a child of God!
Condemnation
comes from Satan (automatically it's no good) and is meant to tear you
down. It will point out your failures and how badly you've messed up.
Shows you the problem - but where's the solution? God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him
might be saved." (John 3:17) The purpose of Jesus coming into the world
was to save it. He did not condemn the world because the world, the
people in it, were already condemned. John 3:18 reads.."He who believes
in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned
already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten
son of God.
" Nobody is born into this world as a believer in Jesus
Christ, therefore, we are all condemned to an eternity separated
from God because we are born spiritually dead to Him in our sins. Jesus
did not need to come into the world to condemn us because we were
already condemned; dead to God in sin. However, Jesus came into the
world to save us by dying for our sins which originally caused God to
remove His life from us, in Adam, back in the Garden of Eden(Genesis
2:7, 17). Therefore, since the death of Jesus Christ dealt with the sin
problem for all eternity, He could then offer the life of God, lost in
Adam, back to us as a free gift.
