Rom 8:1 KJV There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

No, not Jesus. Jesus does not condemn you. Rather, He justifies you based on the price He paid on the cross for your freedom.
So, when you hear voices condemning you, it can only be the voices of men or the devil. And guess what? All their opinions don’t count. Yes!
For who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. (Rom 8:34 KJV)
So, if Jesus has not condemned you, then “there is therefore now no condemnation” that can stand against you.
And when the only one who has the authority and qualification to condemn men decides to justify you, then you are justified indeed.
If you stand uncondemned before God today, it is not because you earned it in any way. For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified; but God chose to save man when man was unable to please Him in any way.
Romans 5:8 tells us that God demonstrated His love for humanity in that, while men were yet sinners, Christ died for the sinful world. Ponderβ¦
May the Holy Spirit help you grasp the full dimensions of God’s boundless love, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
