No Condemnation | Episode 6 | Our Authority

In the sixth episode of "No Condemnation," Duane Sheriff teaches how accusations affect Christians. Romans 8:1 explains that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Yet many Christians live under a cloud of condemnation despite God's assurance that He is not the one condemning them. 

By exploring the four sources of condemnation - Satan, our own hearts, others, and the law - Duane emphasizes the importance of understanding our authority in Jesus Christ, especially against Satan, whom Revelation 12:10 calls the accuser of the brethren. Through the resurrection of Jesus, believers have been given the power to resist and rebuke the enemy.

Matthew 28:18-20 reveals our responsibility to exercise this authority and live free from guilt and shame. There is a difference between conviction and condemnation. When God convicts us, it is to bring us closer to Him. When Satan condemns us, it pushes us away from God. 

Duane encourages believers to take an active role in spiritual warfare by submitting to God and resisting the devil, as instructed in James 4:7. He shares practical steps to rebuke Satan's lies and reminds us that through Jesus, we have the power to overcome. Christians must stand firm in their identity and authority in Christ and live free from condemnation, full of God's grace and truth.
