Jay Bartlett is highly experienced and is doing house calls! If God did not condemn people for their sin, there would be no reason for him to have sent Christ. Often times we want people to experience the love of God so bad that we try to help them escape their feelings of condemnation by telling them that God does not condemn them because he loves them.
This is not right. While the heart behind such a statement may be good, the truth is that God does condemn people. The reason many feel condemned by God is because they are condemned by God. The way to escape condemnation is not to believe God does not condemn you because he loves you; rather, you must realize God sent his Son to receive your condemnation because he loves you. God redeems us Ephesians , which means he purchases us out of our slavery through the price of his Son.
God loves us, but his love is not expressed through pardoning without punishment. The crucifixion, that cosmic event that actually happened in history, is the redeeming act of love that makes it possible to escape condemnation, the penalty of our sins. What is true is that once you become a Christian you will never be condemned by God ever again.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. So one major difference between condemnation and conviction is that condemnation is for unbelievers while conviction is for believers. One of the primary jobs of the Holy Spirit is to bring conviction to the Christian.
It is easy to confuse feelings of condemnation with feelings of conviction. But there are differences even in the feelings associated with these two different concepts. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.
Other differences are that conviction focuses on your behavior while condemnation focuses on your identity. Conviction leads you towards repentance and a stronger relationship with God. Condemnation leads you towards hiding, shame, and a weaker relationship with God.
If you feel like God hates you, you are experiencing an unbiblical condemnation. God loves you, and one of the ways he shows that love is by disciplining us. Discipline is a corrective action meant to change hurtful behavior. Punishment is a punitive action meant to make you pay for something you did in the past. However, there is a monumental difference between the condemnation we experience from other people and the conviction that comes from God.
In Psalm 51, David experiences conviction from God that leads to repentance. David cries out to God in genuine repentance. He does this without self-loathing and without self-preservation. Today, ask God to help you discern the difference between condemnation and conviction, as well as to have a heart that responds in repentance to conviction.
Although the process of conviction and repentance is uncomfortable, focus on what you are gaining: a stronger relationship with God!
