No Condemnation

No Condemnation, November 22
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon From the book: Faith's Checkbook

"In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve." - Jeremiah 50 :20

A GLORIOUS word indeed! What a perfect pardon is here promised to the sinful nations of Israel and Judah! Sin is tobe so removed that is shall not be found, so blotted out that there shall be none. Glory be unto the God of pardons!

Satan seeks out sins wherewith to accuse us, our enemies seek them that they may lay them to our charge, and our own conscience seeks them even with a morbid eagerness. But when the Lord applies the precious blood of Jesus, we fear no form of search, for "there shall be none." "They shall not be foudn." The Lord hath caused the sins of His people to cease to be: He hath finished transgression and made an end of sin. The sacrifice of Jesus has cast our sins into the depths of the sea. This makes us dance for joy.

The reason for the obliteration of sin lies in the fact that Jehovah Himself pardons His chosen ones. His word of grace is not only royal, but divine. He speaks absolution, and we are absolved. He applies the atonement, and from that hour His people are beyond all fear of condemnation. Blessed be the name of the sin-annihilating God!

-----

We as believers can rest assured that when Jesus says all is forgiven, He has wiped our slate clean, we are saved - we are saved with no blemishes left over. We are made white as snow, clean, we will suffer no condemnation and will be blessed in heaven when the time comes. Praise the Lord for His salvation. Let us "dance for joy!" at the thought of spending eternity in heaven with our Heavenly Father who threw our sin as far away from us as the east is from the west! Amen! Grace&Peace.
