Identity—Not Guilty pt. 1

In this message, we step into the courtroom of God’s justice and hear the final verdict for those who are in Christ: “Not guilty.” Just as earthly courts cannot retry someone after an acquittal, God’s declaration of “no condemnation” is absolute and unchangeable.

The evidence of sin is undeniable, the law rightly pronounces judgment, and yet God has condemned sin in the flesh of His Son. The penalty has been paid, the case is closed, and the Judge Himself declares us free.

Next Sunday, in part 2, we will look at Paul’s honest struggle with the flesh and the law. In Romans 7, Paul pulls back the curtain on the internal battle every believer faces — the desire to obey God colliding with the reality of indwelling sin.
