There Is No Condemnation for Sin in Christ


Romans 8:1-12

Modern English Version

Life in the Spirit

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace, for the carnal mind is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

God Now Corrects Us for Sin Instead of Condemns Us to Death for it


Hebrews 12:1-17

Modern English Version

The Discipline of the Lord

12 Therefore, since we are encompassed with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Let us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and your hearts give up.

You have not yet resisted to bloodshed while striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons:

“My son, do not despise the discipline from the Lord,    nor grow weary when you are rebuked by Him;for whom the Lord loves He disciplines,    and scourges every son whom He receives.”[a]

Endure discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? If you are without discipline, of which everyone has partaken, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers, and they corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed disciplined us for a short time according to their own judgment, but He does so for our profit, that we may partake of His holiness. 11 Now no discipline seems to be joyful at the time, but grievous. Yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness in those who have been trained by it.

12 Therefore lift up your tired hands, and strengthen your weak knees. 13 Make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame go out of joint, but rather be healed.

Warning Against Rejecting God’s Grace

14 Pursue peace with all men, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord, 15 watching diligently so that no one falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring up to cause trouble, and many become defiled by it, 16 lest there be any sexually immoral or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. For he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.


God Used to Condemn Us to Death for Sin

But Now God has Freed Us from Sin to Obey God

Resulting in Eternal Life


Romans 6:16-23

Modern English Version

16 Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as slaves to obey, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, for you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness.

19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for just as you have yielded your members as slaves to impurity and iniquity leading to more iniquity, even so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness unto holiness. 20 For when you were the slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then from the things of which you are now ashamed? The result of those things is death. 22 But now, having been freed from sin and having become slaves of God, you have fruit unto holiness, and the end is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Yes, and amen. Read Romans chapters 6 thru 8. This is where God talks about this. When you experience something you know little about, read the Bible because God will renew your mind about it with the truth. Romans chapter 6 tells us that we are under grace so that when we experience Romans chapter 7, that is, doing things we don't want to do, we know that we are under grace for this, and we go into Romans chapter 8 knowing that we are not condemned for those things we do that we don't want to do because we are under grace, and with the power of the Spirit we mortify or, put to death, those things that we don't want to do. For sin shall not have dominion over because you are under grace (Romans 6:14). But there are those that say that keep on sinning because they are not condemned. They turn the grace of our Lord into a license to practice sin (Jude 1:4). Study the Bible and you'll not fall into this deception. if your conversion was real and you're born-again, your desire will be to please God, repent and put to death those things that you don't want to do. You will not continue to sin because you're forgiven. The grace of God is there to help you stop sinning; stop doing those things that you don't want to do. Real Christians aren't into sin. We're into overcoming sin with God's grace and His Spirit of grace (1 Jn. 3:9).
