A plane misconception is often made about why Jesus come into the world. This is that he came to put us right to tell us off for our sin. Let’s say this clearly. Jesus did not come into this world to condemn us, he came to serve us, and above all to take away our sins.
Jesus took the punishment for our sins; he stood in our place and was crucified on a cross so that Gods justice could be put on him. This is why we felt the need to write this article, Jesus came into the world not to condemn us but to save us. The scripture in John chapter 3 v 17 sums it up perfectly displayed below.
Even though Jesus took away our sins we should still do everything we can to overcome sin in our lives. However, we will stumble from time to time. Here is the next bit of good news for you, that for us who are saved and confessed Jesus as Lord of our lives there is no condemnation for us, as confirmed in the book of Romans displayed below.
This means when we mess up and we do fall into sin there is no condemnation for us. Jesus does not condemn us, Jesus took the punishment. What it does mean is we are forgiven of our sins past, present and future, and if you are stuck in sin get help, talk to a trusted friend, or church leader and keep trying to overcome sin, or even better pray to God and ask him to help you he can bring you the support you need.
So, lets conclude. Jesus came into the world to save us, to bring forgiveness for our sins and remove them as far as the east is to the west. But importantly so that we could be restored to the father and have a deep and meaningful relationship with him. So stop condemning yourself and know that you’re covered by Gods amazing grace.
