Romans 8:1-2 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

There are spiritual laws just like there are laws of nature. The law of nature says that every time I jump off the roof I will hit the ground. I mean every single time. Natural laws do not work part of the time. They work all the time.

Spiritual laws work the same way. How many thousand year old men do you know? Zero, because the spiritual law of sin and death has worked every single time. The law of sin and death says "if you sin, then you will die". It works every single time. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ (the one who removes burdens and the power to remove burdens) works every single time. Not just part of the time or only on good days, but all the time. Jesus forgave your sins when you became a Christian and the blood of Christ is sufficient to forgive you of all of your sins. In fact, the law of life is so powerful that there is "now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". Are you in Christ (the one who removes burdens and the power to remove burdens)? Did you receive Jesus the Christ as your Lord and Savior and confess Him with your mouth? Then there is "No Condemnation" on you.

"Now" means right now. Not a moment ago, but now. Forgiveness is an ever-present thing. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

Do not put up with condemnation for one second. It is not yours. Condemnation does not belong to you. It belongs to Satan. So if you have thoughts of condemnation, do not put up with them. Live in the victory Jesus gave you on the cross.

Speak the Word: The blood of Jesus has cleansed me. All of my sins were forgiven when Jesus died on the cross 2,000 years ago. I am not under condemnation.
