Condemned Or Redeemed?

Psalm 34:22


The Lord redeems His servants, no one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him.

John 3:18


Whoever believes in Him (Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of God's one and only Son.

Every one of us born into this world is born into the sin nature that Adam has passed on to all his progeny. So we all die, or are subject to death, because we are all Adam's descendants. But in Christ Jesus we all who trust in Him are made alive (I Corinthians 15:22). We will not be condemned anymore; we once were under condemnation, but now, in Christ, we have been given life right now, and life eternal, to be revealed at His coming.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
