| “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…” |
| —Romans 8:1a |
We can categorize some news we receive as “good news.” Still other news, unfortunately, we must categorize as “bad news.” But then, there comes to us news that sets our hearts on fire with great joy. That news we can gladly categorize as “really good news.”
These words of the Apostle Paul, found in Romans 8:1, certainly meet the criterion of “really good news”:
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
Christ has set us free from sin, death, and Satan’s power over us. That truly is “really good news”! As we begin another new day, we can celebrate, with overwhelming joy, the reality that our condemnation has been covered by the blood of our Savior. And, that fact should motivate us to lovingly, kindly, and gently share this “really good news” with everyone whom God prompts us to share it.
Just as the rising sun marks the beginning of a new day, so the newness of life we experience each day should prompt us to greet the day with praise to God for who He is and also for what He has done for us.
