Romans 8:1 tells us that; “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit”.  Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff makes a distinction between Condemnation and Conviction.  Condemnation, he says, will push us further away from God, and that is one of Satan’s greatest goals, while conviction will draw us to God in a state of repentance.  We have a good God, and it is His goodness that leads us to repentance.
