THE GIFT OF NO CONDEMNATION

John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

True Christianity is from “being” to “works”; it is not “works” to “being”. Let me explain: the believer do not have to live righteously to become righteous. We were made righteous the day we became born again, having confessed the Lordship of Jesus. Thus we do righteous acts because we are righteous. This is very vital.

Many preaching in the church is all backward. Many preach that if you live right you will be made righteous and holy. I am sorry to tell you that that is a big lie from the pit of hell; and it cannot happen. You do not live righteous to become righteous; you do not become holy by living holy. Holy people do holy things.

Our opening scripture is from a story in the Bible where they brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus. The religious leaders who were behind this whole thing demanded of Jesus and said, Moses commanded such one to be stoned, but what do you say? This they said not to get an answer but to accuse Jesus of breaking the law of Moses, so that they can arrest Him and kill Him.

Of course Jesus gave them an answer and they all took to their heels and Jesus was left alone with the woman caught in adultery. Then Jesus said, neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. Unfortunately, the preaching you hear in many quarters is, go and sin no more and you will not be condemned. This is the reverse of what Jesus said.

Jesus did not approve the woman’s act of adultery. But He gave her the gift of no condemnation before He told her to go and sin no more. Everything begins at the cross. If you don’t truly have a revelation of what the cross has accomplished for you, living right will be difficult; and when you miss it, satan will beat with condemnation big time.

We are saved by grace through faith unto good works. We are not saved by good works but we are saved unto good works. Sin is not pleasurable; those who indulge in it only hurt themselves. But to live right you have to first of all know that you are righteous by faith in Jesus. Thus right living becomes a fruit rather than a work. Hallelujah!

Prayer of Salvation
Dear God, I believe that Jesus died and was raised for me. I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I declare that I am born again in Jesus’ name.
