July · Day 189 of 365

No Condemnation

Freedom in Christ

Scripture
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Romans 6:18 (KJV)

Reflection

No condemnation. Romans 6:18 repeats the wonder of it: "Being then made free from sin, ye…" If you are in Christ, the verdict over your life is already settled. Live from that verdict, not toward it. The Father is not waiting to catch you failing; He is welcoming you into freedom. Today, breathe out the heaviness of self-condemnation and breathe in the steady grace of the gospel. You are free.

Prayer

Lord, I refuse the chains You have already broken. Help me to live as Your free son or daughter. Amen.

Thought for the Day

What chain of guilt or fear do I need to refuse to pick up today?
