Romans 8:1 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
Even as His disciples, what kind of lies do we struggle from within ourselves? We are seriously "broken", No one can\does\will love us, We aren't "good enough"... At one time or another, we all struggle with some sense of self-condemnation.
What's hilarious is that, as disciples, all of that are lies that Satan whispers into our ears. We all know that God's Word declares Satan's lies for what they are. In His eyes, we are wanted, desirable, accepted... worthy. Our past and everything that's happened to "make us" who we are today doesn't matter when placed under the light of God's Word.
Rom 8:1 says that God doesn't condemn us, as long as we are in Jesus. We aren't even "less condemned" - that our struggles are somewhat improved in Jesus - They haven't. God doesn't condemn us... So why do we condemn ourselves at times? When we struggle with not feeling "good enough", there is no better ammunition (than God's Word) to use against Satan's lies.
