Daily Bread – November 4, 2021 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 – But if we evaluate ourselves, we would not be judged. But being judged by the Lord, we are under training so that we will not be condemned with the world. Part 2 ~ Correction vs Condemnation It is important to make a clear distinction between God’s correction and condemnation. We now live in the ministry of righteousness, not condemnation; and there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus for those who walk after the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:9; Romans 8:1). Jesus has not come to condemn us, but He is correcting us and has sent the Holy Spirit to educate us in all the ways of God – albeit sin is still condemned in the life of the believer by God’s Word and His Spirit and must be condemned by us individually as well. Yet, as His children, what should always remain before us is the blood of Jesus that washes away every sin. We should always observe the Holy Spirit Who is present to give us the divine strength to do all those things that please the Father. Our Heavenly Father’s judgment should never lead to condemnation; but rather, to a correction graciously received by His children. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
