If Jesus Once..........

There is now no comdemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus Rom Ch. 8:1

As I was reading in C.J. Mahaney's book "The Cross Centered Life" in preparation for teaching our church youth group in a couple days, I came across the above verse. Mahaney's context/point was that Christ has taken all of the believer's condemnation before God. So when we daily sin, we should not grovel in guilt, but confess, repent and believe the gospel. I may not always "feel" forgiven, but if I am in Christ, I am forgiven.....past, present and future.

"If Jesus once upon me shined, then Jesus is Forever mine" (from Gadsby's Hymnal 339)
