There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1

Despite being saved, many people carry with them the feeling of unworthiness. Religion managed to annul the message of the cross, and because of that, many people don’t understand what happened to them during the new birth (John 3:3). Although having read what Christ did in their favor, they think they are worthless, that they can´t do the same work Jesus did, and besides that, some people live day and night asking for forgiveness for the sins committed during the days of disbelief (Hebrews 10:17). 

The institution of salvation must be explained, or the majority of the people will not enjoy of this blessed work, accomplished for us at Calvary. Jesus would not pay such a high and costly price simply to let us live like people did before His coming. The message of the cross is decisive, strong and final. Whoever accepts Jesus as Savior is justified – innocent – of their sins. Is forever free (John 8:32). 

Before the pure God, all mankind is cleansed, but that only comes into action when the person listens, understands and accepts the message of the Gospel. At that very moment, the person is delivered from the kingdom of sin and transported to the Kingdom of God (Colossians 1:13). All wrong works the person did in the past now cease to exist. Thus, the person experiences the new birth and discovers that now is like as if she had never sinned. 

The Christian who is in fellowship can come into divine presence without any feeling of unworthiness (Hebrews 10:19). Surely he will bow his head in respect, but not because he is a sinner, because if sin condemned him to eternal torment before, now, through Jesus Christ, he was made righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). This way, the person can face the devil with faith and determination looking down at him, like a superior looking at an inferior one. The person was defeated but now he is a conqueror.

Therefore, no one who is saved must tremble when praying to God, nor think that he will not be answered. His past sins were washed on the blood of the Lord; thus, there is no condemnation (Revelation 22:14). Now, he who doesn’t owe anything to the law will not be afraid to ask her for help. This is how a saved person must act; without fearing the enemy and neither accepting any temptation in her body, soul and spirit, for this person is forever free. 

Observe that this will not take place like by enchantment. If the person walks according to the flesh – natural – nothing will be done. The person who doesn’t take his position in the Word and allows the teachings of man and of the demon to govern his life will never become the conqueror the Lord made her be. Now is your golden chance of rising up and asserting your rights. If you act in the Name of Jesus, there is no way you can lose. 

Walk according to what God´s Spirit tells you through the Scripture. The Comforter listens to what is said about you in Heaven and gives you the message. With this, faith comes into your heart, and with it, you can determine the blessing. God will honor all His promises, but for you to be healed or forgiven, you have to assume what the divine Word says. 

In Christ, with love,
