NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU
GO AND SIN NO MORE
Brother James, OIC
Joh 8:3-12 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
There is Good News beyond what you may initially read in these verses. In fact if everyone captured this Good News in their hearts the Kingdom of God in its most Explosive Power would be very near them and if those trapped in religious thoughts and judgments captured this they would totally freed from the same spirits that held the scribes and Pharisees bound!
The young woman caught in adultery was caught and accused by the Accuser of the Brethren that always attacks through vessels of a false religious light. When they brought her to Jesus they brought her to the True Light. This True Light’s only desire is to Light the Path of Total Recovery for you and I in a lost, dark and dying world, through the essence of His Being which is The Word of God.
Many think after reading this that Jesus is commanding her to go and sin no more when in fact He is commanding her to go on the Journey of Life, Light ,Love and Liberty in which the Truth will at Gods Appointed time will dwell in her in understanding, making her free while birthing a New Creation (that is contrary to the sinful flesh it is housed in) that cannot sin.
This is not arrogant thinking it is a humbling experience to know that God through His Grace will work out this Divine Nature in me, purging me, cleansing me through His Living Word.
There are some common misconceptions in religion all of which are worked out in the carnal intellect attempting to attain to spiritual though.
The first is the thought that goodness propels right choices when actually it is Faith through which is added Virtue that reveals the Power of Gods Goodness that’s wrought through Faith. Fallen goodness from our intellect is never pleasing to God. (See Romans 3:9-12; 1 Cor 8:1)
Another serious contradiction is the misconception that religious false humility of no one is perfect which has its truth only in the Flesh, but in Living Truth we need to identify and walk in the Light of Grace that gives us through the offering of the Cross Sanctification (being set apart for God to do His Total Recovering work in us and Perfection that comes from being sanctified (See Heb 10:10, 14)
And here is the biggest bondage to stunting growth in Christ: it is that sinless-ness cannot be walked in:
1Jn 3:8-10 He that committeth (habitually relying on and trusting the flesh) sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed (the Spirit of Christ, Gods Anointing, Wisdom & Power birthed through His Word of Truth) remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Brethren there is a serious identity crisis in the Church today. Identify with the Spirit that gives Truth, Freedom, Faith, Power & Love that covers all sin. And Jesus will say to you “Neither do I Condemn You Go on The Sinless Journey of Light where Grace Abounds and Truth makes you free from the false solutions and paths the flesh wants to travel.”
