Series: Not Guilty: Part 2

Jan 11, 2026    Don Allen

This powerful message confronts one of Christianity's most paralyzing issues: the burden of condemnation that keeps us from walking in the freedom Christ purchased for us. We explore Romans 8:1's declaration that there is 'no condemnation' for those in Christ Jesus and discover how the law of the Spirit of life has made us free from the law of sin and death. The teaching reveals how many of us began our faith journey experiencing God's unconditional love, only to later feel like we're constantly falling short and disappointing Him. Through the story of the woman caught in adultery and the prodigal son, we see that our Heavenly Father refuses to let our past define us, He covers us with His robe of righteousness. The central revelation is this: we cannot earn what has already been freely given. Jesus didn't just sympathize with our sin; He became our sin so we could be made the righteousness of God. This isn't about giving us a license to sin; it's about revoking the license that guilt and shame have held over our lives. When we truly understand that the Judge of the universe is our Father who is madly in love with us, and that Jesus serves as our Advocate who has never lost a case, we can finally stop trying to earn what we've already been given and start walking in the authority and freedom that is rightfully ours.
