Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4
What a promise from God. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Christmas is about God sending His very own Son to be a sin offering. His arrival changed everything. I am made righteous by the work of Christ. My relationship with Him is by grace through faith. What I am unable to achieve in the flesh, God did through His Son. As a believer, I have been set free. Looking at the Child this Christmas, be reminded this Child was given for you. The work Jesus did has reconciled you to God.
