Romans chapter 8, verse 1, There is therefore now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ has made me free from the law of
sin and death. For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through the flesh, God sendeth his own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin condemns sin in the
flesh." I want you to think with me this morning on a few things. Beginning here in verse 1, there
is therefore now no condemnation. And that word condemnation means
there is no guilt. There is no adverse judgment. You go to court and charges are
brought against you, but they won't stand in court. The charges
are examined and they bring back the verdict, not guilty. not to be charged. He's free. He's justified. No condemnation. That's a precious word. No condemnation. But one of the things that makes
this precious, so precious and so delightful to our souls is
when we consider what Paul, the apostle, has already said concerning
us. For us to appreciate this Word,
no condemnation, we've got to look at the other side. When
we begin to examine the other side, then we come here and He
says, there is therefore now. Why did He use that word now?
Well, there's a reason why He used that word now. I want you
to look with me and dwell with me just for a minute on the other
side. We're living in a generation.
that wants to hear the good news first. But no good news is good
news until we've heard the bad news. The good news is there's
no condemnation. There's no adverse judgment.
There's no sentence of guilt against God's people. But the
bad news is there was. There was. And I want you to
look here at Romans chapter 5. And look with me in verse 12. Look with me in verse 12. The
Apostle Paul had already said some things concerning every
man without exception. And he says three things here
in three verses. First, look with me in verse
12 of chapter 5. Wherefore, as by one man, that
is, Adam, the first man, By one man, sin entered into the world. There was no sin in this world,
in humanity, until Adam sinned. And through that one man, sin
entered into the world, and look at this, and death by sin. Death by sin. Sin brought death. In the day that you eat thereof,
you shall surely die." He brought physical death, didn't he? He lived to be 930 years old,
but when he took of that fruit, he began to die, and die he did. He died. A physical death is the result
of sin. In Adam, all of us die. Why? Because of sin. That's what's
the matter with us today. That's why we have no hope of
escaping this world except through death. Sin brought physical death. But you know, there was another
death that it brought. It brought a moral death immediately. God created this man upright. He was a holy man. He was a righteous
man. He was a good man. His heart
was good. His spirit was good within him.
But as soon as he sinned, he died morally. There was no good
thing left in this man when he sinned. He lost every good thing
that he had. In the day that you eat, you
shall lose every good thing that you've got. Death. Death. Death by sin. But the Apostle
Paul doesn't stop there, does he? He told us the effects of
Adam's sin had upon him personally. He died physically. He died morally. He died spiritually. But look
what he goes on to say. And so, so death passed upon
all men, for all have sinned." What does He mean, all have sinned?
In Adam. When Adam sinned, we all sinned. And it has the same effect upon
us as it did Him. When Adam died, you died, and
I died. Before we had a being, He stood
as our Father, as our representative. By one man, just one man, sin
entered this world, and death by sin, so death passed upon
all men. You know now, brothers and sisters,
we're dead in trespasses and sin until we've been given life. We are dead. And there's no exceptions
to that, is there? You see the little baby come
from his mother's womb? He's dead in sins. Why? Because his first father sinned.
Dead in sin. That's the first thing. That's
the first thing. That's the first thing. Death by sin. But look
in verse 19 of Romans chapter 5. Look in verse 19. If you and
I had just died in Adam, and Adam had just died in himself,
and he lay passive, that would have been bad enough. But you
know, when he died, when he fell into sin and lost all he had,
He gained something, if you can call it a gain. Something happened
to him. He just didn't die. He just did
not die. He became what he was not before. And you know what that was? A
sinner. A hateful sinner against God. A rebel against God. Look what
he said in verse 19. As by one man's disobedience,
Many were made sinners. Adam was made a sinner. I mean,
when he sinned, when he disobeyed God, something took place in
his heart. He not only lost all the good
that he had, but his heart was completely changed. He was turned
into a sinner. A rebel against God. That's why he tried to accuse
God. The woman that you gave me, it's your fault. It's not
my fault. Why don't you take the blame
for yourself? You did this. Oh, how hateful he became. Willing
to sacrifice his own wife to save his own skin. A sinner.
He became a sinner. And you know what? You and I
became sinners too. You and I became sinners. Sinners,
willful, active, hateful sinners against God. And you know we
don't become sinners when we reach a certain age. I don't
have to be twelve years old to be a sinner. I don't even have
to be born to be a sinner. I was a sinner when I was conceived
in my mother's womb. I came forth from my mother's
womb speaking lies. Bruce, how do you know that?
Because the Bible tells me that. The wicked are estranged from
the womb. They go astray as soon as they
be born, speaking lies. They're sinners. They're sinners. How did they get to be sinners?
Through this one-man sin. And you know, we look at little
babies coming from the womb and we say, do those babies perish
if they die? I don't believe they do. But
I tell you this much. If God left them to themselves,
they wouldn't. They're not saved because they're innocent. They're
not saved because they're guiltless. If they're saved, they have to
be saved through the merits of another, just like you and just
like me, because they're sinners. Before they ever lift a word
to God in heaven, actually, before they ever do a deed with their
hands, they're sinners in their very nature against God. That's what Adam's sin did to
you, and that's what Adam's sin did to me. But look in verse
18. Getting more to the point of my message this morning. Therefore,
as by the offense of one, by the offense of one, many died. By the offense of one, many were
made sinners. And look at this. By the offense
of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation. You know how guilty we are of
Adam's sin? It condemns every one of us. Now, some won't accept this.
I know that. Some won't accept this. They
say, how can an infant come forth from his mother's womb and he's
guilty before God? How can an infant come forth
from his mother's womb and he's condemned already? Because he's
in Adam. He's in Adam. By the offense
of one, judgment came upon everybody else to condemnation. Adam's sin was charged to us,
and we're condemned because of it. Look here in chapter 3. Look
here at another condemnation. In Adam we're guilty. We died. In Adam we became sinners. In
Adam we're condemned. judged, and by the deeds we do, we're
guilty. By the actual words we speak,
by the thoughts of our hearts, our motives, we're sinners actually
in ourselves by the deeds that we do. You know this passage
very well, beginning here in Romans chapter 3. In verse 10,
there's none righteous, not a one. Verse 11, there's none that understands
and seeks after God. Verse 12, they're all going out
of the way. They've all become unprofitable.
There's none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is
an open separator. With their tongues they have
used deceit. The poison of asthma is under their lips. Their mouth
is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed
blood. Destruction and misery are in
their ways. The ways of peace they've not
known. There's no fear of God before their eyes. What an awful
thing to say about such good people. Do you know anybody this
way? I don't know a single person. I don't know a single person
that you can look at. I don't know a single friend
or a single neighbor that you can look at and say, your feet
are swift to shed blood. My neighbors are good to me.
I don't have a friend like this. Or do I? You see, Paul traveled a lot. And it wasn't that he looked
around him and he said, man, how ungodly this world is. That
wasn't what brought him to this estimation of men's depravity
and their sinfulness. He looked at God's law and he
says, you know something? God's law is spiritual. And it
just doesn't look at the deeds a man does, but it looks at his
heart and sees what's there. What's in a man's heart? Hate. That's murdering. Lust. That's adultery, isn't it? Self. Self-love. Self-will. That's idolatry, isn't it? God told His prophet, He
said, you see, He said, you've got a problem. He said, your
problem is you're looking on the outward. I look on the heart. I don't just see what men do
with their hands. I see what they're thinking.
And therefore, look what he says in verse 19, Now we know that
whatsoever things the law saith, it saith to them who are under
the law, under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and
all the world become condemned, guilty before God. Condemnation. Condemnation. We're all guilty, aren't we?
Guilty in Adam, guilty by the actual deeds that we do. The
law judges us, and he sees what's in the heart. We're concerned
with what we do with our hands. We're concerned what we see with
our eyes, what we hear with our ears, where we go with our feet.
The law looks on the heart. And boy, when it looks on the
heart, it sees a cesspool of iniquity. It sees a factory churning
out all of these sins. And it condemns sin before sin
leaves the heart. We're guilty before God. There's another kind of condemnation, and this probably may be the
worst of all as far as being hateful is concerned. This is the condemnation. Listen
to this, John 3, verse 19. This is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather
than light. Getting a little bit deeper now,
a little closer to where we live, aren't we? Here's another kind
of condemnation. There's that condemnation we
got in Adam. There's that condemnation we
actually earn through sinning against God's holy law. And here's
another condemnation. This is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world and men love darkness rather
than light. The greatest guilt a man will
face and the greatest condemnation a man will face and be charged
with is sharing of the Son of God and that salvation that is
by Him and yet loves His sin rather than Christ. That's the greatest condemnation.
Wouldn't it be better to live in a dark jungle somewhere and
never to have heard of the Son of God? than to hear of Him and
His great work, and then to choose your darkness, your sin, your
evil? Look here in John chapter 15.
Look here what the Lord Jesus charged the Jews with in His
day. Look in John chapter 15. Look in verse 22. Here's how
He said this. Look at this. John chapter 15 and verse 22.
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin. Now, they already had sin. Let's
be careful how we interpret our Lord's language. He knew they
had sin. They had sin in Adam. They had
their actual sin that they had committed themselves. But there
is one sin they would not have had if Christ had not come and
preached to them Himself. That's the sin of loving their
selves rather than Christ. Look what he says. But now they
have no excuse. They have no cloak for their
sins. Verse 24, If I had not done among them the works which
none other man did, they had not had sin. But now have they
both seen and hated me and my Father. This cometh to pass,
that it might be fulfilled that's written in their law, they hated
me, they hated me without a cause. This is the condemnation, that
light is come and men love darkness rather than light because their
deeds are evil. He that doeth evil hateth the
light, neither cometh to the light." You know man does not
make a conscious choice to believe Christ. That may sound like a strange
statement, but you know nobody, no unregenerated man ever made
a conscious choice. to believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ. He chooses not to. He chooses not to. No man ever
made a choice to come to Christ. You don't come to Christ because
you sat down and reasoned this out and then choose to come to
Christ. You flee to Christ. Men make a choice not to come. You know when men will come to
Christ? When they choose not to come
to Christ. When they've made the choice,
rather, that they will stop choosing not to come. If you leave here
this morning, and you're an unsaved person, you'll have to make a
choice. You'll have to make a choice. You don't come to Christ, here's
the choice that you make. You choose not to come. You choose not to come. You don't
choose to come, but you choose not to come. You don't choose
to believe, you choose not to believe. You believe because
you've heard the Word and you embrace it. You believe it with
all your heart. If you don't do that, you deliberately
choose not to believe. And that's the condemnation,
bud, that you're charged with. This is the condemnation. Light is come. And men deliberately
choose to love darkness rather than light. That's condemnation. Men choose
not to trust Christ. Men choose not to love Christ.
They choose their disbelief. They choose their hatred. They
choose their darkness. Horatius Bonar, in his wonderful
song, he said, All mine iniquities crimson have been, infinite,
infinite sin upon sin. What was his infinite sin? The
sin of not loving you. The sin of not trusting you. Infinite sin. And you know something? You know something? The choice
was made to hate Him. The choice was made to disbelieve
Him. Have you ever thought of that
like that? That's why the condemnation is so great for people to sit
under the Gospel and go on without Christ. You choose to go on without
Him. You choose to do it. This is
the condemnation, that light is coming to the world, and men
love darkness rather than light. We don't choose to believe. We
choose not to. There's no middle ground. There's
no straddling the fence, as we say. He that is not with me is
what? Against me. You mean there's
no milligram? No. I'm just indifferent. No. No siree. You hate him and you choose to
hate him. He that is not with me, he that's
gathering not with me, he's scattering abroad. There's no milligram.
That's the condemnation. That's the condemnation. When
a sinner stops choosing not to come, it's when he'll come. And when a sinner starts choosing
not to hate him, it's when he'll begin to love him. That's grace, isn't it? That's
grace. Here is my point this morning.
There is nobody in this building that was not condemned one time
or another. Everybody in this building was
condemned in Adam without exception. Everybody in this building was
condemned by your own sin against God's holy law. And every one
of us was involved in despising the Son of God. Were we not? Do you go with Him and have excuses? No. We hated Him. That's why we chose to dwell
in the darkness. We loved it. We loved it. And
there's the condemnation every last one of us was involved in.
Until we recognize this, brothers and sisters, we'll never come
here to my text and rejoice when the apostle said, There is therefore
now no condemnation. There is therefore now no condemnation. Ain't this a wonderful word?
I think that's what we'll title this. No condemnation. Precious
word. Consider it, my soul. This is
the blessedness. This is the glory. This is the
surprise. on the gospel. Here we were condemned,
an adverse sentence gone out against us, and now here we are,
we hear these precious words, no condemnation. And why? He tells us, there is therefore
now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Why is there no condemnation?
Because we're in Christ. in Christ. That means union. We're one with Him. We're in
Him. The Lord Jesus said, Abide in
me, and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except
it abide in the vine. No more can you except you abide
in me. Where does the branch get its
life? Where does it get its well-being?
Where does it get its being at all? by being attached, by being
united to the vine. You and I are in Christ, and
just like the branch that's attached to the vine, we have our life
and we have our being in Christ. And the life we have is by virtue
of being in Him. Listen to these passages of Scripture.
How does God save a sinner? How does God save a sinner? You
know how God saves a sinner? He puts him in Christ. He puts
him in Christ. Listen to Isaiah 45, verse 16,
17. They shall be ashamed and also
confounded, every one of them. They shall go into confusion
together that are makers of idols, but Israel shall be saved in
the Lord. Israel shall be saved in the
Lord with men everlasting in salvation, world without end. You shall not be ashamed or confounded. Why? Because you are in the Lord
and you are saved in the Lord. Listen to Isaiah 45 verse 24,
Surely shall one say, In the Lord have I righteousness and
strength in the Lord." How does God make a man righteous? He
puts him in Christ. And he is righteous because of
his union with Christ. Those outside of Christ have
no righteousness. Those in Christ have the same
righteousness that he has. Of God are you in Christ Jesus. who our God has made unto us
righteousness. No wonder Paul said, O that I
may be found in Him, not having my own righteousness. Listen to Isaiah 45, 25. In the
Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and shall glory. In the Lord Jesus Christ, in
Him, They shall be justified, cleared from all charges, not
condemned in Him. God hath blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Him, in whom we have
redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
But now in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes were for all are made
nigh by the blood of If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. In him we have obtained man's
inheritance. If somebody asks me this morning
what Christianity is, you know the one answer I would give them?
It's to be in Christ. That's it. It's to be in Christ. Now does being in Christ deliver
us from condemnation? The same way being in Adam condones.
Jesus Christ is our representative. Look in Romans chapter 8. Look
in verse 3. Jesus Christ is our representative
just as Adam was our representative. In Adam all died. Even so in
Christ shall all be made alive. Because I lived. You shall live
also, simply because I live. There's coming a day, brothers
and sisters, the graves are going to open,
and all the saints are going to rise from the dead, and they're
going to live forever, by virtue of the resurrection of the Son
of God. Nothing they do, they lay there
passive, and they'll live, because I live, you shall live. being
in Christ. Look at what he says in verse
30. For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through our flesh. Nothing to matter with
the law, is there? There is nothing at all to matter
with the law. As a matter of fact, look in chapter 7 in verse
12. Wherefore the law is holy, the
commandment holy and just and good. Look in verse 14. We know that the law is spiritual.
Nothing matters with the law. Here's the problem. But I am
carnal. I'm fleshly. I'm natural. Soul. I'm a slave to sin. That's the
whole problem. God gave us His law, His moral
law. And all the law did was condemn
us. The law said, Clarence, you've got to love God perfectly. Clarence
loved God perfectly. He's just a man. He's a fallen
man. He's fleshly. Do this and do
that. He can't. He cannot do what the
law demands. His flesh is fallen. His humanity
is ruined by sin. Somebody said one time, God wouldn't
command a man to do something if a man couldn't do it. Is that
right? You mean God's supposed to drop
His standards because men have fallen? God say, no use for me
to command them to do it because I know they can't? Why can't
they? We're sinners. I tell you, God commands us to
make us a new heart and a new spirit. Does He not? Try that
sometime, would you? Try that sometime. You can't do it, and I'll tell
you why. Sin has ruined us. Sin has weakened us. Nothing
matters with God's law. It's just as strict. It's just
as holy. It's just as just as it ever
was. Its commands are just as binding
as they ever were. The problem is with you. The
problem is with me. The law is weak through our flesh. And when he says flesh, he's
not just talking about our limbs. He's talking about our whole
humanity. Our moral makeup. Our souls, our hearts. What the
law could not do, therefore, in that it was weak through the
flesh. But look at this. God sending His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh and for sin. God sending His own
Son. Isn't that a wonderful fact? God sent Him, His own Son. You
and I had nothing to do with that, did we? No, He did that. God did that. He sent His own Son. That's our representative. Our
first representative was made of the dust. He was earthly.
But what about our second representative? He was the Lord from heaven. The first man was of the earth,
earthen. The second man is the Son of
God. He come down from heaven. God
send Him His own Son. And look at this, in the likeness
of sinful flesh. You know He was just like us.
The Lord Jesus Christ was just like us. Sin accepted. sin accepted. He had a human
soul just like we do. The Bible says that he increased
in wisdom. The Son of God increased in wisdom? Didn't he know everything? Not
as the man. He increased. He was just like
us. He had a real human soul and
a real body. In that soul He could believe
God. He could hope. He could grieve. He could fear. He could cry. In his body he could grow weary.
He could grow hungry. He could grow thirsty. He got
tired and had to sit on the well to sleep. He got so tired he
had to sleep in the ship. He was in our likeness. He just didn't take to himself
a body. He was born of a woman. with
a real human soul and a real human body. Why? Why did God send His own Son
to be born to the woman and have a human soul and a human body
just like us? He tells us in the very next
word. Look at it. God sent in His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh and for sin. For sin. That is, as a sacrifice for sin. Christ hath once suffered for
our sins. He died for our sins. He gave himself for our sins. He was wounded for our transgressions. God sent his Son. He took to
himself our humanity. And he gave himself a sacrifice
up on Calvary's tree. for our sin. And you know the most amazing
thing happened when he did that? You know what happened to sin
when he did that? Look at the last portion of verse 3. He condemned
sin in the flesh. He condemned sin in the flesh. There's just a little bit difference
in this word condemned as the one I read to you over in Romans
5.18. Through Adam, all of us was condemned. That word there in Romans 5.18
means a sentence has gone out saying we're guilty. They're
guilty. It's to pronounce one guilty. But this word here, condemned,
in verse 3, There's just a little bit difference in this word condemned.
The first condemned means to pronounce the sentence. It's
for the verdict to come back in the foreman to stand up and
say, we find him guilty. But this word condemned here
in verse 3, it means to carry out the sentence. It means to
punish. It means to damn. To damn. So what are we saying here? He
said that He sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh
as a sacrifice for sin to damn sin, to put sin to death, to carry
out the execution against sin. God looked upon His own Son and
our humanity upon the cross, and He said, You are guilty,
and you must die the cursed death of a sinner. You must die the
cursed death of a sinner. And you know something? When
Jesus Christ died that day, sin died with Him. Sin died with Him. God laid on Him the iniquity
of us all. He had our sins on Him on the
cross. And the Scripture says He hung there guilty. He hung
there accursed with our sins in His own body. Therefore, if
He's dying under our condemnation because of sin, when He dies,
sin has to die with Him. If you murder someone and they
take you and lay you on the gurney and put that poison in your veins
and put you to eternal death, you know something? The crime
that you committed died with you. It's paid for. It's dead with you. And when the Scripture says sin
was condemned in the flesh, it was condemned in His flesh. It was condemned in His humanity. He took it to Himself and said,
I'm guilty. And when He died, it died with
Him. Ain't that a wonderful thing?
That's wonderful. I can't get over this. No condemnation,
precious Word. Consider it, my soul. Your sins
were all on Jesus laid. His stripes, His suffering, His
death, His bloodshedding has made you whole. The cause of condemnation has
been taken away. That is why there is no condemnation
to them who are in Christ Jesus. Just as Adam brought guilt and
condemnation to us, Jesus Christ took it away. He took the cause
of it away. The very sin, the very human
nature, that our sin was committed in, that very human nature, put
away sin. That's why the Son of God had
to become a human being just like us. That's why an angel
could not put away our sins. Sin was committed against God
by a man. And therefore, a man had to put
away our sins. And Jesus of Nazareth did it. He condemns sin in the flesh. No condemnation. No condemnation
in Christ. God is not angry. God is not
angry. Does He chasten? Oh, yes, He'll
chasten us over. Yes, He will. There's no wrath
in God against His people in adversity. He's not our enemy
anymore. He's not. No condemnation. However Jesus Christ is standing
with God in heaven today, that's the same way everybody in here
is standing. One last thing in closing is this. Two thousand
years ago this happened. Two thousand years ago this happened.
He tells us here in verse two how we know about it. Look what
he says in verse two. The law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin. This is
talking about our experience, our experience of grace. We are
actually freed from condemnation in our hearts, in our conscience. That's the wonderful thing about
salvation, brothers and sisters, about being saved. The Holy Spirit
comes and He gives you life and He lets you know about it. Jesus Christ was sin of His Father
2,000 years ago to remove the condemnation. And then in time,
the Father sends the Spirit of His Son in our hearts to give
us life and let us know the condemnation is gone. You know how you can know that
Christ took away your condemnation? When the Spirit comes and gives
you life. That's the way you'll know it. God has sent forth the
Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Father, Father, I will
put my Spirit in you and you shall live. The condemnation
is actually gone from your conscience. You and I can't serve God with
a guilty conscience. We can't. If we have to come
before Him with a guilty conscience, we'll be scared to death. We
can't love Him. We can't worship Him. He's got to let us know
that the guilt, the condemnation has been taken away. And then
we'll love Him. Then we'll draw near to Him.
There's a paper in our local Monte paper. There's a verse
of Scripture in 2 Corinthians 3.17. The Lord is that Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there's liberty. I imagine the editors of the
paper probably think that has to do with some kind of a freedom
of the press, I don't know. They put in there every day.
But you know what that means? Where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there's liberty. When the Spirit of the Lord comes into
your heart, He gives you life, and He frees you from condemnation. He frees you from your guilt. Now, God is your Father, Father,
Father. Christ is your salvation. He's
your life. He's your all in all. And the
Spirit bears witness to your spirit, that we're the children
of God. Brothers and sisters, I want
to know about that, don't you? I want to know about it. When
that lady stood before the Lord Jesus, and those men said the
stoner to death, and finally all of them left,
and the Lord Jesus said, where's your accusers? Nobody condemned
you? He said, No man, Lord, neither
do I condemn thee. Don't you want to hear that?
I want to hear that. And we can hear that. That's
why we have the Spirit. And I'll tell you another thing
about this no condemnation. There's no condemnation now.
Now. That was said of you yesterday,
Clarence. It's said of you today. It'll be said of you tomorrow.
Now. Now. It will be said of you out
in eternity. Now. If you are in Christ, there
will never be any condemnation. Never. Never. He that heareth
my word, and believeth on him that sent me, shall live. Neither shall he
never. He shall never come into condemnation. He shall never. Never. Never. Is Christ condemned? No. He was at one time. That's your
representative. He's cleared from all his charges
now. There is no sin. There is no sin. There is no
sin. I feel it. I feel it. Well, who
are you going to believe? Are you going to believe the
Lord that He condemned your sin in His flesh and put you to death?
Or are you going to believe what your own heart tells you? I'm
telling you there's no sin. Behold the Lamb of God. Oh, there
it is. Yes, there it is. You're looking
in the wrong place. Oh, but I see sin. Where do you
see it? In here. Stop looking in there. That's
all I've got to tell you. Behold the Lamb of God. In Him is no sin. I don't care who you are this
morning. I don't care what you are or what you've done. You
look to Jesus Christ. And you'll see, on your behalf,
He has taken all your sin away. It's gone. There's no condemnation
to you. There is no sin. If there's sin, then you condemn
it. Because you bet God will see
it. But there is no sin. There's
no sin. That's one of the best things
about the gospel. No sin.
