The Bible teaches that all have sinned and deserve condemnation, but through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are free from this judgment.
Condemnation is a fearful reality according to the Scriptures, indicating a sentence of judgment for sin. Romans 6:23 states, 'The wages of sin is death,' showing the rightful consequence of our sinful nature. John 3:19 elaborates on this by stating, 'And this is the condemnation: that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light.' However, the good news is that those who believe in Jesus Christ are no longer under condemnation. Romans 8:1 affirms, 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' This reflects the grace of God, whereby believers avoid the judgment their sins deserve through the redemptive work of Christ.
