Not Guilty Part 3: Walking in the Boldness of Your Righteousness

May 4, 2026    Don Allen

What if we've been approaching God all wrong? This powerful message challenges us to reconsider everything we think we know about standing before our Creator. Drawing from John 3 and Romans 8, we discover that God is not in the business of condemning us or keeping a record of our failures. Instead, He declares us not guilty through Christ. The woman caught in adultery provides a stunning picture of this truth—despite being caught red-handed, Jesus doesn't shame her but releases her with dignity and freedom. We explore how righteousness isn't something we earn through perfect behavior, but a gift we receive through faith in Jesus. This shift from sin-consciousness to righteousness-consciousness transforms everything: our prayers become bold rather than begging, our faith becomes confident rather than timid, and our approach to God becomes fearless rather than shame-filled. The message confronts the religious mindset that keeps us perpetually aware of our failures and replaces it with the biblical truth that we can stand before God as though sin never stained our lives. When we truly grasp that God isn't holding anything against us, we're freed to access the tremendous power that becomes available through the prayers of the righteous.
