Faithful Friday

Romans 8:1

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Happy Faithful Friday! We pray this newsletter brings encouragement and truth to your heart as you head into the weekend.

When we read Romans 8:1, it can stir many emotions; challenge, comfort, conviction, or relief. But no matter how it hits us, what matters most is this: God’s Word is the authority, not our feelings or opinions. And God’s Word declares something powerful and unchanging, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

This truth is simple, yet we often struggle to fully believe it. Scripture tells us plainly that for those who belong to Christ, the verdict is not “less condemnation,” not “reduced condemnation,” but no condemnation. That means the shame, guilt, weight of sin, comparison, and judgment that try to cling to us have no rightful place in the life of someone who is in Christ. We may sin, and we all do, but sin does not have the authority to define us or shame us when we are walking in Christ.

If we continue reading the verses that follow, Scripture explains why this is true. God sent His Son Jesus as a sin offering — something we could never accomplish on our own. Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirement of the law on our behalf. And because of His sacrifice, we are not freed to live however we want, but freed in Him, empowered by the Spirit of God who now lives in us.

This is where the distinction becomes clear:

When we are in Christ, and Christ is in us, there is no condemnation.
We may stumble, but shame does not get the final word. The Spirit leads us, restores us, and reminds us that we belong to God.

But when we live outside of Christ, living for the flesh, rejecting His leading, there is condemnation.
Not because God desires to condemn, but because apart from Christ, we remain under the weight of sin that only He can remove.

Romans 8 is God’s authoritative declaration over His people. And it invites us to walk in the freedom Jesus purchased for us. Not a freedom that excuses sin, but a freedom that breaks the power of shame and empowers us to live by the Spirit.

Our Mission

Faith Race exists to encourage Christians to put God first. The Bible often depicts our relationship with Christ as a race. We are not waiting for the starting gun, we're already running. This race isn't an escape when hardships arise, it is a constant decision that is made moment by moment, to run with perseverance and to be obedient to God's plan. Our life is one Faith Race where each decision is a stride closer to the finish line: eternal communion with Christ in heaven.
