Who is actually bringing thoughts of condemnation to believers? Is it God, or our own minds?

Under the Old Covenant, the blood of bulls, goats, and lambs COVERED sins looking forward by faith to the offering of JESUS CHRIST. When Jesus Christ came, He TOOK AWAY the sins of the whole WORLD, from Adam to the last human on earth. Still, many Christians view what Jesus did as just another sacrifice that is temporary or incomplete. They are still focused entirely on sin and getting each sin forgiven, even though ALL sins were taken away. They should be focused on Jesus and the NEW LIFE He has given.

Some will try to use the verses in Revelation as proof that a person can lose his salvation. But what does being lukewarm and being spued out of the Lord's mouth really mean?

People search and strive for many things in this life, but none can satisfy. Man was created in the image of God, and after Adam fell, people do not have the Spirit of God inside until they receive Jesus. There is a God-shaped vacuum that can be filled by Jesus Christ only.

Patience and Gentleness are fruits of the Spirit. Often they show forth in our lives when things are going well, but what about when life is full of stress, troubles, pain, and suffering? In these times it becomes evident that the fruits of the Spirit come only from Jesus Christ within. We must abide in Him daily and draw on His strength alone.

Romans 1:1 brings out three very important points about the Apostle Paul. Each pertains directly to us as Christians. Each also is crucial for fathers.
