He keeps on banging on about this doesn’t he? Do you think maybe it’s important? Do you think maybe God wants us to understand that Jesus has done the job and any negative feelings we have about what we have done in the past is wrong. In another translation of this passage it says “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ.” That’s pretty clear as well. So let’s be clear about this. God thinks that your mates are great; God thinks that your family is great and God thinks that you are great. Any nagging voice in your head that makes you feel anything less then a privileged child of God is a lie. It’s a simple formula Jesus plus you saying sorry equal’s forgiveness. So Jesus dies for you and me and the selfish we did and do. When we gave our lives to Jesus that became part of our very being. As things come to mind that we have done that we are not proud off, we simply say sorry and ask for forgiveness. That’s it, it is done. God has now separated us from that sin by a million miles. If we get nagging voices saying things like “you can’t go to Heaven because you did this or your did that” it’s rubbish, it’s a lie. Right I’m glad we got that clear, can we move on now?
