When was the last time you felt condemned? If you never have, then maybe the words 'There is no condemnation for those in Christ' doesn't mean much to you.But if you've become well-acquainted with feelings of condemnation, then those words have very different meaning.
If you've had boat loads of shame and guilt - if you've experienced great judgment at the hands of another - then you grasp how sweet it is to be told you'll never again be condemned.
Your connection with God is unshaken even when your connection with life is.
And be blessed.

I have been condemned for things I have no idea why. Maybe God isn't condemning me, but I seriously doubt it. I swear to God, this whole Christian idea is a front. It is all hearts and flowers on the surface, but get down to the reality and it is a farce. I am certain you won't post this but right now, I don't care. My brother is in the hospital. I just don't care and quite frankly, neither does God.
We've all been condemned by others when we didn't know why. If there is anything you can be sure of, it is that God has not condemned you. People may, but God doesn't. Be assured of that.
Christian idea is a front if it's your choice. Seek the Lord's truth and it won't be. My heart is heavy for you and your brother. Seek his ways, it starts with you, repent and change the worldly ways and perpectives. He will give you freedom from your bondages and the holy spirit will guide you in your new life in Christ. Won't you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior today? He knocks at your door. Blessings to you and your growth:)
Philippians 2:1-11
Imitating Christ's Humility
1 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I just got home from the hospital. My brother is far sicker than we knew. He has been bleeding internally for quite a while. I get angry at God. Right now I just feel that we are getting what we deserve. It's not God's fault...it is ours. The thing is, I know I am on the path my brother is on, but it is so hard to change. I need to be a good influence for him and help my parents and him. This should be a huge wake-up call, but I am not ready to quit. Life is so hard.
