No Condemnation

Romans 8:1 is the whole of the chorus: "there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, by His blood I have been made free," repeated until the singer adds "I have been redeemed." Anthony Evans follows with the personal result, "because of His forgiveness I don't have to live with shame anymore, because of His redemption, no more condemnation."

A spoken section explains why the message matters. "One of the many ways that the enemy will paralyze and disable and disarm the people of God is to put a burden of guilt and shame on them," he says, a thought near 1 Peter 5:8 about the adversary prowling. But "the weight of our sin is no longer ours to bear, our Savior took it all, He paid the full price on Calvary," which matches Colossians 2:14.

He then reads the verse itself, "there is therefore now no condemnation for those of us who are in Christ Jesus, so be free, my friend." The song ends with lines from the end of Romans 8: "Christ who died, raised to life, made a way for me, there's no depth, there's no height that can separate me from His love," drawn from Romans 8:38-39.
