No Condemnation

Believers look to Christ. They have the mind of Christ: they think and believe the truth of who God is, who Christ is and how God justifies sinners by Him. They walk in the Spirit: they trust Christ and come to God by Him. They see and believe spiritual things: faith enables them to perceive reality as Christ and Him crucified, risen and reigning to God’s glory, for His people. They live their lives in this confidence, this hope, this desire to be found in Christ, to know Him, to be with Him. Their hope of righteousness is not in their own works, but it is in the faithful obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ their representative (Galatians 5:5).  Their hope of justice satisfied is the suffering and death of their substitute, the Lord Jesus Christ.  God has made Christ to them wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; Hebrews 10:10,14; Jeremiah 23:6; Romans 10:4). They walk with the mind of Christ; they walk after the Spirit.

To all such there is no condemnation. Why?  Because they have a substitute, a sin-bearer, a propitiation. God made peace with them. They are reconciled to God by the death of His Son (Romans 5:10). Christ’s death is the ground for perfect harmony between God’s mercy and truth, His righteousness and peace, in the justification of every sinner who trusts Christ (Psalm 85:10). Christ, by His death, satisfied both God’s mercy towards sinners and the justice that upholds His throne (Psalm 89:14; Proverbs 20:28; Isaiah 16:5; Hebrews 4:16).
