CONDEMNATION - Part 1

WEDNESDAY, 10TH AUGUST, 2022.

Topic: CONDEMNATION – Part 1

In the Old Testament Perspective

MEMORIZE: “But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?” Lu 23:40.

SCRIPTURE READING: Job 40:7-8.

“Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me: "Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?” 

EXPOSITION: 

Biblical definitions for condemnation in the Old Testament perspective.

(1) The causative stem of רשׁע , rāsha‛ "to declare (or make) wrong,""to condemn," whether in civil, ethical or religious relations. Taken in this sense the word needs no comment (Exodus 22:9; Deuteronomy 25:1; Job 40:8 ); "Who then can condemn?" (Job 34:29).

(2) ענשׁ , ‛ānash , "to fine.""Condemned the land" (2 Chronicles 36:3) "amerced"; "fined"); "wine of the condemned" ( Amos 2:8) "fined unjustly”).

(3) The active participle of שׁפט , shāphaṭ , "to judge.""From those that condemn his soul" (Psalms 109:31) "that judge his soul").

Men got condemnation through sin (disobedience) and sin brought death. No man can save another, neither can any angel died for the redemption of our sins. Men were helpless and without hope. Our condemnation denied us hope of liberty. But while we were yet sinners, Christ, through mercy and grace, died for us. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:34.

PRAYERPOINT:

Thank you Jesus Christ for taking away my sins and condemnation and replaced it with joy of the salvation in Jesus name.
