StartUp, Friday July 22, Romans 8:1-2
Hello passionate youth reaching out, today is Friday, July 22. My name is Noah, I’m Gaby, and this is Startup, helping you start your day with an upward focus.
Lately Paul has been talking a lot about sin, but today we are going to learn about how Jesus has set us free from sin.
Romans 8:1-2
Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
What condemnation is Paul talking about?
When a criminal is sentenced in court, he is condemned. It’s the same with us and God. We have all sinned, and we have all been condemned to death. But, this sentence that we receive from sin no longer has a hold on us. Why? Because Jesus died in our place for our sin. Why should we now be condemned for something that Jesus has already paid for?
Sin still wants for us to feel its shame and its guilt.
Despite the fact that we know that Jesus loves us and has purchased our freedom, sin’s shame can still hold us back. God doesn’t want us to hold onto the shame of our old sinful self, but to recognize that we are valued in his eyes beyond measure. If you’ve been struggling with shame, pray for God to help you let go of those bondages, and for him to guide you.
Challenge:
The challenge for you this week is to actively take note of sin’s deception in your life. Try to figure out how it has been lying to you. Some red flags will be places where you are becoming isolated in relationships, and were wrong desires and hopes are taking root in your heart. I challenge you to actually write these things down, making a list of sin’s plan to destroy you. My goal here is that you will be wise to sin’s strategies and that this information will help you to not be deceived and therefore to not be harmed.
Invitation:
Also, make sure to come to Hawkwood Baptist Church’s Sunday morning services. We have one at 9:30 and 11:00.
