Pastor Ben shares from Romans 8 about living an uncondemned life.

This is a picture of the road to Christ Jesus. It is no roundabout road of the law; it is no obeying this, that, and the other; it is a straight road: “Believe, and live.” It is a road so hard, that no self-righteous man can ever tread it, but so easy, that every sinner, who knows himself to be a sinner may by it find his way to heaven.

Have you ever wondered how you as a Christian fit into the "Church?"The Bible describes us as a body which has many members but one body.The many members aren't working as soloist, they work together in a God ordained symphony. With Christ as our new identity, we have been brought into a new family where we live out our faith with "one-another." Living any other way will suck the life, joy, and fullness of God's family design.

Ever feel the pointing finger of judgment? What was your response? What does ungodly judgment do to an individual, family, local church, or community? Have you been guilty of ungodly judgment? Did you notice the results? Did you like the results? Our text today describes how not to judge and how to judge. If we judge with godly judgment, abundant life results in any circumstance. If we judge with ungodly judgment, then ruin is the result.
