Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Ro 8:1-2)
Where there is condemnation, there is no freedom. Where there is no freedom, there is no real growth. We will never become or accomplish what The Lord is calling us to as long as we sit under or are subjected to condemnation.
Condemnation quenches, cuts off, blames, squelches, grieves, manipulates, blinds, binds, and causes hopelessness.
The Spirit builds up, encourages, directs, corrects, helps, enables, frees , and gives hope.
Condemnation creates an atmosphere of blame, guilt, and control. You will only be free to become what the condemner wants or thinks you ought to become or be. The condemner makes and interprets all the rules and motives.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Cor 3:17)
Where the Spirit of Life is, there is freedom, freedom to become who God has called us to be and to do what God has called us to do. To be set free from our sinful pasts and set free to all we can be in Christ.
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Rev 1:5-6)
