Putting Off The Old Man

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 5, 2024

We look at our lesson from Ephesians 4 in light of Jesus healing the paralytic. The first half of Ephesians shows how we have our sins forgiven, then Paul teaches us how to walk as a Christian. When our sins are forgiven, we can walk.

Rewiring The Heart: When Purity Becomes Pleasure Again

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 22, 2025

There Is Now No Condemnation For Those Who Are In Christ Jesus.

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 23, 2026

Many Christians live their daily lives believing in forgiveness but still feeling condemned in their hearts. In Romans 8:1–4, Paul declares a truth so powerful that it frees believers not only from sin’s penalty, but also from the burden of living under constant guilt.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1–4 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the ...read more
