Sin, shame, condemnation, guilt, regrets, fear of punishment, rule-keeping, failures, distress, judgement, strife, sicknesses, diseases, death: NAILED! Every one of those things born on Jesus’ body and nailed to that cross, come from us trying to be like God because of Adam.
They come from trying, striving, doing…in an effort to please Him. Those things come from rule-keeping, law-living. Condemnation is the direct result of trying to live out a list of do’s and dont’s before God; a list we could never, would never and were never meant to try to live out.
