I am in Christ. Because my mind is set on the things of the Spirit, I can know that I am in Christ. There is no condemnation for me; I will never pay for so much as one part of one of my sins. If I were to do so, Hell would be my dwelling place forever. Christ however was wrapped in this sinful flesh just as I am, but He, altogether unlike me, was tempted but never succumbed to the things of the flesh. Had He done so, He too would have been hostile towards God and treated as an enemy. He however was perfect and perfectly fulfilled all of the righteous requirements of the law. That which should have been death for me was rather conformed to be the fulfilment of the law within me. I did not fulfill the law, but the righteous requirements of the law were fulfilled within me by my Savior through whom sin was condemned for my sake, rather than me being condemned for the sake of sin. I have transgressed every commandment of God's law, but the creator of the universe is altogether pleased with me.
In Christ,
Every Christian
