Throwing Off Our Fears

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1 – 2).

No condemnation except that which I pass onto myself. Our human remembrance of our sin reaches far deeper than God’s. He forgets them, erases them from His existence. Yet, we display them like trophies.

The same holds true of our mistakes and failures. If we have confessed them and handed them over to God, they are no longer ours. So why do we take them back on our shoulders? Let us throw off any hindrance to the good work God wants us to do. Let us throw off our fears and doubts, our frustrations and feelings of futility. They have no place within the task God has given us to do.
