There is No Condemnation for Those Who Are in Christ

Our identification with Christ is the only reason we are accepted by God. Our identification with Christ is the only reason why the believer has no fear of condemnation.

See the full sermon "The Pursuit of Forgiveness Pt 3 ~

In this powerful exploration of Philemon verses 17-19, we uncover the profound pattern of the gospel in action. The central theme revolves around forgiveness and reconciliation, mirroring Christ's own sacrifice for us. We see how Paul's plea for Onesimus reflects our own relationship with God through Christ. The concept of identification in Christ is beautifully illustrated, reminding us that we are accepted by the Father because we are united with the Son. This union transforms how we view ourselves and others, breaking down barriers and fostering unity in the body of Christ. The message challenges us to consider: How does our identity in Christ shape our relationships and our willingness to forgive? As we reflect on the depths of God's love and acceptance of us, we're called to extend that same grace to others, even when it's costly.
