For us as Christians, the feeling of being condemned is the root of multiple issues we struggle with. Condemnation is responsible for fear; failure to understand this leads to stress, which brings physical and emotional illnesses and diseases. Mosaic Law was based on self-effort; each time we rely on our self-efforts to please God, we fail miserably and feel guilty because we’re reminded that we’re insufficient. The only one who can make us enough is Jesus Christ. He’s the one who frees us from the old covenant of the law and enables us to minister the new covenant of grace to others. We no longer have to rely on our performance to earn God’s approval; He already approves of us. Condemnation and judgment will never have the power to transform us for the better—only the love and compassion demonstrated by Jesus can do this.
