Stop Condemning Yourself
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)
Today’s Morsel: One of the worst kinds of condemnation is self-condemnation. Self-c0ndemnation is the act or habit of condemning yourself. Self-condemnation often rains down lies that you’re worthless and unforgivable. You are a loser just like your parents. No one cares about who you are. You’re a loser. You are no good. But we know that God’s word says otherwise. God’s word says that we have worth because we were created in His image. Peter tells us: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10) Maybe some of this stuff may have been true before we were born-again but not now. You don’t need to condemn yourself because you have made some mistakes. That’s what the blood of Jesus was for. To forgive us and to wash away our sins. The only way you will keep condemning yourself is if you keep walking in the flesh. “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) So stop being guilty and beating yourself up. Jesus loves you more than you will ever know.
Sing: He knew me, and yet He loved me. He whose glory made the heavens shine. I’m so unworthy, of such mercy, yet when He was on the cross, you and I were on His mind.
Thought For Today: “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” (Luke 22:31-32)
