Who are we to condemn?

     We have no right to condemn anyone because we are not 

perfect ourselves. No one has a perfect behavior except 

Jesus. When you become saved or born again, you now 

become holy in Christ(see 2Cor 5:21) but that doesn't make 

your behavior perfect. In terms of behavior, we are all the 

same in God's eyes. The difference comes in only when 

accept Christ or not i.e become born again or not. For saved 

christians - when God sees you, He doesn't see any sin in 

you. Why? Because when you became born again, Jesus' 

Spirit came and dwelt inside of you. In other words, the Holy 

Spirit now lives inside of you. When this Spirit dwells in you, 

you are not accused or condemned at any moment. Jesus is 

full of love and mercy, not condemnation(see Rom 8:1). The 

main reason people still condemn others is because they are 

still law conscious. As a child of Grace(Jesus), law is no 

longer your concern.         

      We focus so much on people's behavior and spend time 

going around telling people "do this, don't do that" instead of 

telling people to simply accept the love of Jesus. The truth is 

that God is not concerned about your change of 

behavior; God is concerned about your change of heart. 

So, I won't judge any of you or tell you to do good. All I would 

say is "just open your heart to Jesus and be yourself". 

Period! 

        There is something bad I used to do my entire life(I'm 

sorry I can't tell you what it was.LOL). I tried really hard to 

stop doing this thing but I couldn't. On October 5 2013, when 

I surrendered my heart to Jesus(i.e became born again), I 

thought this terrible act was going to stop but I kept doing it 

over and over. In fact, I was addicted to it. I kept saying 

"Acha you can do this, Acha you can this"; instead of saying 

"Jesus you can do this". Imagine a saved christian still trying 

to overcome a particular bad element. And every time I did 

this thing, I felt really guilty(because of the law). Three 

months later, on January 1 2014, I went down on my knees 

and said "Lord Jesus, please help me. I have tried to stop this 

'thing' but I just can't. I know I am now holy in you but please 

help me to stop doing this 'thing' which constantly makes me 

guilty. In your holy name I pray". Ladies and gentlemen, 

Believe me when I say that ever since then, I stopped doing 

that particular thing. The two mistakes I did were: first, I never 

presented this particular problem to Jesus in prayer and 

secondly, I wasn't supposed to feel guilty because when you 

are in Christ, you are not under any law(I'm not saying you 

should do bad). So here is my conclusion to the story: when 

you try so hard to stop sinning, stop trying and let Jesus in. In 

other words, let go and let God. One surprising day, you will 

find yourself not doing that particular sin anymore; naturally. 

No one would have to tell you to stop. It would happen 

naturally. That is the power of Grace(Jesus). 

      My dear friends, do you now see how powerful Jesus is? I 

am not making this story up. This is a real life experience I 

went through. When I surrendered my heart to Jesus in 

October 2013, even if I passed away the following day, I 

would have still made it to heaven. Even though I still did bad 

things(including now), I would still make it to heaven. You 

know why? Because people go to heaven for accepting 

Jesus; not for sinning(bad behavior). Christ brings you to 

heaven based on your change of heart; not your change of 

behavior.
