"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears
My word, and believes Him Who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into
judgment, but has passed out of death into life." (John 5:24)
In the above verse, our Lord tells us that the believer "does not
come into judgment." Our sins were judged in Christ on Calvary and every
believer "has passed out of death into life." This is present
salvation. Christ paid for our sins. He was judged in the believer's stead. The
believer will not come into judgment because:
01) Jesus Christ paid the penalty, and on the ground of His substitutional death, the believer is separated from his sins forever (Psalm 103:12).
02) The sins of the believer have been wiped out and God has promised that He "will not remember your sins" (Isaiah 43:25).
01) Jesus Christ paid the penalty, and on the ground of His substitutional death, the believer is separated from his sins forever (Psalm 103:12).
02) The sins of the believer have been wiped out and God has promised that He "will not remember your sins" (Isaiah 43:25).
03) Our Lord suffered for our sins, "the just for the unjust," that we might be saved and never come into judgment as sinners (1 Peter 3:18).
04) The believer will never be condemned with the world, because Christ was condemned in his place. "He (the Father) made Him (Jesus) to be sin on our behalf" (2 Corinthians 5:21). Christ was made a curse for us on the cross, and on our behalf redeemed us from the curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13). "He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself" (Hebrews 9:26). The believer will not come into judgment because his sins have been purified (Hebrews 1:3).
Let us offer thanksgiving to Jesus and our Father God every day with immense gratitude for what God has done for us.
