Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.
—Romans 8:34

Thank you Father! For this week. For answers on my child’s heart. We continue to pray for a positive outcome we know you can do ALL THINGS!!!
Christ payed the price we deserved to pay and He paid it in FULL we should be so thankful to The Lord for that, because even tho we sin and we are in perfect He still loves us more than we will ever know❤️✝️✝️
Loving this study♡
Hebrews 7:24
but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
25 Therefore he is able to save completely those
who come to God through him, because he always lives
to intercede for them.

We bring this verse up a lot in jail ministry, and the other one..There is no condemnation for those in Jesus Christ- Romans 8:1. For they are KNOWN for what they did- by others in the pod, their family and friends, and being on the news most times, so everyone! (We go to a pod that is the more serious crimes and most likely they will go to prison). So most of us have sins that no one knows, and I am so glad that I don’t have to stand and announce them to anyone. BUT we tell the ladies, that in repentance…it’s gone!! God no longer has it on your rap sheet! Erased! And that is SOMETHING so amazing for ALL of US!!! I had shame and guilt, and still do, not in a condemning way to myself, but in a regretful way that I wish I would have made better choices. People will say..they have no regrets- that’s kinda crazy. Yes they made you who you are, but sin not only hurts you, it hurts others. It has consequence. God hates sin. It separates us from him. He doesn’t hear our prayers when we live in unrepentant sin (unless we are praying for forgiveness. That’s why it’s so important to assess yourself everyday, and pray specifically for forgiveness for known and unknown sin.)
BUT Jesus…in Christ, there is no penalty, no wrath, no separation…because he covered our past, our present and future!! We are covered under his blood! We need to see how amazing this is!! It literally breaks me now when it hits. Before, (was I saved?) I didn’t see my great sin before Jesus, I just knew he was my Savior (for heaven access!) and kept living my own way. But NOW because of that ….I am floored and in tears how incredible it is! An amazing, free gift we don’t deserve.
Standing in Your Love…I’m not sure the title of the song that just played, but that was the refrain that kept playing…might have been Cory Asbury. And now Waymaker..!! Perfect songs for the verse today!
Have a great wkd!
Thank you Jesus
I love this..I see it as…who can condemn….THEY didn’t die for you, CHRIST died for you. They don’t have any authority, or right to say anything, it is Christ. You know, like when your little and you tell your mom someone called you a name. And she’s like…oh honey, they don’t know anything about you, (and then they go into all the sweet things), you are my sweet baby, so smart and wonderful…
JESUS died for me…no one else. They get no say. I had really never thought of it this way. Because, really, I do expect followers of Jesus, proclaiming they love him to live differently. But that too, is a type of condemnation. Although we ARE to judge people by their fruits, but not be judgmental in a shallow way, We judge every day, you can’t not have thoughts about people, it just means don’t make assumptions in a way you don’t wan’t to be without assessing yourself. WAIT..let me just Google this and it will surely say it better! Because it’s important —because people have taken the “don’t judge others” and have used it excessively without really knowing the word.
Yes, the Bible actually presents a two-fold teaching on this. Christians are warned against judging motives and eternal salvation, but are commanded to hold fellow believers accountable for known, unrepentant sin.

What Christians Should NOT Judge
The Heart: Believers are forbidden from judging the secret motives of others or claiming authority over someone’s ultimate salvation. The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 4:5 to “not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes,” because God alone knows the heart.
Outsiders: Christians are not to judge the behavior of non-believers. As stated in 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, “For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?”
Desiring God

What Christians SHOULD Judge
Believers in the Church: Christians are explicitly told to evaluate the actions of other believers to maintain a healthy community. 1 Corinthians 5:12 clearly instructs the church to “judge those inside.”
“Righteous Judgment”: Jesus commands in John 7:24 to “do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” This involves using God’s Word as a standard to call out sin, help others repent, and protect the community.
Self-Examination First: In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus warns against hypocritical judgment. He states you must “first take the plank out of your own eye” so you can see clearly to help a brother with his faults.
I could use some prayers today, I am on third day of migraine, and I fainted yesterday and landed hard on concrete tile in a doctor’s lobby. I am prayerful it didn’t do any damage to my fused spine, but I am super sore.
Praying for you, sweet sister! ❤️
You were on my mind last night! I was happy that you knew your sweet Jack was whole and new in heaven with Jesus. And that you were back at work and being taken care of in just the way Jesus knew you needed in this time of grief. I pray you feel held and comforted in the hard evenings.
Thank you so much, sweet friend! Yesterday our grandson graduated from high school and I couldn’t help but be a bit sad that Jack wasn’t there to share this time with me. Grief is definitely a process. This study is so good! ❤️
Praying for you Rhonda! May your headache cease and there be no spinal injury! And thank you for all your inspired insights you post daily. ❤️
ahh, dear Rhonda, I am sorry you have migraine and on day 3!.
Praying it goes away sooooooooooooon and that you are back to your good self in no time..
Also hoping there is no damage to your fused back..❤️
Oh my goodness Rhonda! Hopefully you can rest up today and the migraine will ease up. Praying for you!❤️
thank ya’ll. (heart)
Oh my Rhonda! Praying you are feeling better!
praying for your migraine to heal and no bad effects from your fall ❤️
praying for migraine relief, and getting over the soreness from the painful fall. ❤️
God does not condemn us, so why should anyone else?
.
→Christ died – for me (and you)
→He was raised – I too will be raised (and so will you)
→He is at the right hand of God – I will be in the presence of God (right along with you)
→He intercedes for me (and you) and boy do I need it!
.
So many assurances from Gods word. I love that He intercedes for me
—
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” (Romans 8:1) Why?…because, “Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.” (Romans 8:34)
.
“The picture Paul paints is of Jesus standing by to advocate against anyone who would accuse us to God for our sin. He might say, “I died for that sin. The penalty is paid.” Now that God has justified us in Christ, and because God is for us, no accusation or condemnation can stand against us in the throne room of God.” (Bible ref)
.
Thank you God for sending Your son to die on the cross for my sin. Thank you that no one can condemn me because of the price that Jesus paid. Thank you that He intercedes for me, offering His words for the words I don’t even know how to utter. I am forever grateful.All praise and glory to You God.

It is quite an overwhelming and humbling thought that we are always on His mind.and that He intercedes for us. Not only do I cry out to Him and bring forth my requests, but so does He. Thank you Lord. ❤️
❤️

From The Message
“Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us.”
.
Thankful beyond measure for Jesus’ intercession for me to the Father.

Praying God’s peace and comfort falls on you Shes as you are walking through your seasons of grief.❤️
Love this, who would dare?!
Indeed Kelly, who would dare when we have The Lord Almighty interceding for and loving us..❤️
❤️❤️
Funny thing this morning, the YouVersion verse for today is also from Romans(5:8), a couple of chapters before our Grace day verse, but I think so tied in with it..
.
..BUT GOD,has shown us how He loves us- for whilst we were still sinners , Christ died for us.
.
With those words in mind, who then can condemn us?
The maker of Heaven and earth, instead of reprimand, gave His life for us, while we still (and continue) to sin. HE did not condemn us, as should have been the case, INSTEAD, HE died for us!
And in being raised from the dead, HE pleads still for us!
.
I tell you what, as verse 31b says..” If GOD IS for you, (and not against you), WHO, can be against you? He fights for us, He shows His love daily,
. WE cannot be separated from His forever, no holds barred love, not our wrongdoings. Not our sinning. Not our misguided notions of life. Not those who open their mouths to condemn!
Nothing and no one can separate us(the sinners) from the love of the One who died for and interceeds for us..
No-one!
.
Thank you Jesus, Thank you..
.
BUT GOD..
.
AMEN.
.
Happy Saturday my dears. Be so amazingly blessed whatever your weekend looks like..
love and hugs covered in prayers..❤️❤️❤️

Yes, Thank you, Jesus! 31b is one of my faves :)
