See Yourself Through the Lens of Grace

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.” Romans 8:1

Until we come into a true knowledge of Jesus, we will look at our lives and see where we and others have fallen short. We can’t see God’s love and mercy because all we see is our sin and theirs. It is the tree that blocks our view. But if we look at our lives with the right lens, we will see how Jesus has redeemed us and delivered us, and how there is nothing blocking us from Him. The Lord has removed it and now nothing can separate us from His love. Nothing!

My sister, God wants you to see your life through the correct lens, the lens of grace, not through the lens of condemnation. He wants you to fix your eyes on the truth of His word and let Him change your heart and renew your mind. You are redeemed through Jesus! You are loved because of Jesus! You are made holy and put in right standing with your heavenly Father because of Jesus! Your sins can’t disqualify you and your good works can’t qualify you! Everything you are and everything you have received is because of Jesus.

Your Father wants you to say goodbye, once and for all, to condemnation, and say hello to life in the Lord! His grace is freshly poured out on you in full measure, and it doesn’t give you a license to sin; it gives you strength and power to win through Jesus!

Say by faith: “There is therefore now no condemnation to me. I am in Christ Jesus. I walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. My Heavenly Father is not condemning me, so I will not condemn myself. I receive the lens of grace, and I put it on. Condemnation will not block my view anymore. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death, and I live in that freedom. In Jesus’ name.”
