We live in freedom because of the love of God.
Imagine that you are a thief, a murderer, and you are in front of the judge and all the witnesses who can testify against you. After all the arguments and evidence presented until Thursday, your condemnation is imminent. The judge picks up a gavel and before hitting it hard against the table, he looks you in the eyes, points his finger at you and says, "You are free, there is no condemnation on you." Incredible, isn't it?
This powerful statement reminds us that when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ and that sacrifice on the cross, the judge says that we are free and there is no condemnation on us. This means that even when we are separated and enemies of God because of our mistakes and sins, Christ has redeemed us, he has paid the price and carried the condemnation upon himself.
This invites us to live in freedom, freedom that is born from the grace of God poured into our lives and reminds us that guilt is no longer a burden for us, now we dedicate ourselves to living fully in freedom and in the love of God.
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Romans 8:1
