Jewel #5 –You Are Free from Condemnation

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.”
Romans 8:1-3

Condemnation is only for those who have rejected the testimony of the Father through the Spirit about the Son (John 3:17-18; 1John 5:11-13). Forgiveness is wonderful, but alone it is not salvation. It would be like biting into a ham sandwich and finding only bread.

A ham sandwich only begins with two slices of bread. It becomes a ham sandwich when you put the slab of ham between the bread slices. Likewise, forgiveness alone is not salvation. Only when the life of Christ is received between the ‘slices’ of forgiveness, does someone have salvation (Romans 5:10). Both are received when you believe on Christ. [I personally testify that this ‘salvation sandwich’ is the original ‘hero sandwich’ and is quite tasty and completely satisfying; I highly recommend it to anyone who has not yet decided to trust Christ Jesus as their Savior.]
