Chapter One of Pastor Rob's book, "Enjoying the Goodness of God" read by the author. So what place does condemnation (shame or punishment) have in the life of a believer? There is therefore NOW no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Walking according to the flesh means to be born again and still trust in your own righteousness. Walking according to the Spirit is to be born again and trust in the grace of Jesus for your righteousness.
