The IN Crowd! (part 4 of 10)

Some people find themselves hanging with the wrong crowd and in the process find themselves GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION! We know that with which we struggle. We know full well the sins for which we have need of forgiveness. And if we are honest we know we stand before God as GUILTY and without excuse. Praise God He has provided the means of a place wherein we can receive hope!

Paul encouraged. . .
"(1) There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION for those who are IN CHRIST JESUS. (2) For the law of the Spirit of life has SET YOU FREE IN CHRIST JESUS from the law of sin and death." ( Romans 8:1-2 ESV)

Though guilty of sin, IN CHRIST we have the condemnation removed. It is an assurance we can count on even now as we live IN CHRIST. What peace this ought to bring! What confidence it ought to inspire in approaching God! What love and praise ought to flow from our life because of such a provision!

Have a great day APPRECIATING FREEDOM IN CHRIST!
Carl
