Title: End the Condemnation
Contents
If you are filled with the life of God in God, you can live a spiritually transparent life. Your priorities in life become clear, and you clearly experience the rule and guidance of God's Word. Even before Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, they lived a life that was very transparent in spirit, had fellowship with God, and followed God's will. But when they ate of the forbidden fruit, they became spiritually clouded. I also lost the peace of mind in my life. What happened to them who ate the forbidden fruit?
First, the word of God has been obscured. To say that God's Word was clouded means that Adam's heart was spiritually clouded. When his fellowship with God was cut off, a cloud formed over his soul, and as a result, he was unable to properly discern the Word of God. A life that chooses the tree of good and evil will be blinded by desires and lose the ability to discern the Word. Even today, if we live a life of choosing the tree of good and evil, our inner world becomes clouded. Just as Satan came to Adam and Eve and tempted them to obscure the word, he also comes to us today and causes things that block the word. So, if we become spiritually clouded, the Word will be distorted, and we will only take good words and not receive anything that burdens us. Solomon was a glorious king, but his wealth and many wives hid his soul from hearing the word of God (1 Kings 11). If there is anything in our life that obscures the Word of God, we must throw it away. If there is anything that is clouding my eyes, I have to boldly throw it away and have spiritual clarity.
Second, the door of condemnation was opened. Satan and the devil's greatest weapon is guilt. When we sin, a feeling of condemnation arises in our sense of guilt. The devil instills a sense of condemnation and keeps us from escaping from shame. So, in the end, they drop them from being children of God. Today's culture and thought belong to the devil's condemnation. Freud said that human behavior stemmed from the repressed unconscious and shifted all human responsibility to the unconscious, the situation, and the problems of others. This was the appearance that started after picking the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. When the eyes of good and evil were opened and they saw each other's faults, Adam and Eve condemned each other. Adam condemned Eve and Eve condemned the serpent. Condemnation always comes from a condemned heart. Jesus forgave the woman caught in adultery without condemning it. He forgave him out of the love of Jesus. The devil brings this condemnation to the church as well, causing discouragement and division. If we are caught in the devil's condemnation, the joy of life disappears due to shame, and we fall into spiritual stagnation and lose our being a child of God.
