"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Romans 8:1

The key words here are 'for those who are in Christ Jesus'. There are some who think that all mankind is heaven bound. Yes, Christ died for all. As Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 2:21, "For He (God) made Him (Jesus Christ) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

Jesus died for all sin that man might be reconciled to God, but the condition stands, 'for those who are in Christ Jesus.' Scripture is very clear here as we see in the following well known verse:
"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. John 3:16 The Amplified Bible

And clearly we see in John chapter 3,
"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Vs. 18 "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
Vs. 36

This is what Christ Jesus has done--
Died in our place:
"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit." 1 Peter 3:18

Died for our sins:
"Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness -- by whose stripes you were healed."  1 Peter 2:24

Died as a sacrifice:
"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." Ephesians 5:2

Died willingly:
Jesus speaking of His life in John 10:18 says, "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself..."

Reconciles us to God:
"For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life."  Romans 5:10

Brings us to God:
"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God..." 1 Peter 3:18

Restores our fellowship:
"For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him." 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10

Thus, can it simply be said that sin is not the issue now, but the question is, What have you done with Christ Jesus? If you have believed in Him and the work of the cross you have eternal life. If you have not believed in Him or the cross you are dead in your sin.

Jesus speaking in John 5:24 tells us,
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who send Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life."

For those in Christ we see in 2 Corinthians 5:17 this glorious news, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new."

Oh that all would choose to come into that saving relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Scripture does tell us that it is God's desire that none should perish.
"The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to persh but for all to come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

Thank you Lord God for Your love that draws. It is that perfect love that has brought salvation, redemption, reconciliation and life eternal. We honor and worship You for You only do we glorify! Amen
