The voice of condemnation paralyzes so many people. It says that you are wrong, unfit, guilty and unworthy. It uses our past to keep us from our future, and it points to our failures in order to bring shame. The only way I have found to defeat it is by the truth of God’s Word. Jesus said that if we would abide in His Word, we would know the truth and the truth would set us free. The Truth says that He is our righteousness, He paid for our sins and that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. You do not have to be ruled by condemnation anymore. You have been forgiven and set free. Walk in that freedom from now on.
Here are some Bible verses on being free from condemnation:
1. This, then, is how we will know that we belong to the truth; this is how we will be confident in God’s presence. If our conscience condemns us, we know that God is greater than our conscience and that he knows everything.
1 John 3:19-20 GNT
2. “But I promise you, no weapon meant to hurt you will succeed, and you will refute every accusing word spoken against you. This promise is the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants, and their vindication is from me,” says Yahweh.
Isaiah 54:17 TPT
3. He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.
Colossians 2:14 TPT
4. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:17 NKJV
5. So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.
Romans 8:1 TPT
