“When I first encountered the verse in Romans 8:1 “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” I thought for the first time “I didn’t know I was under condemnation!” If we think we are standing in a neutral space, considering whether to trust Jesus to save us or not, we deceive ourselves. We are already condemned, by our idolatry, hypocrisy, self absorption, devotion to our own comfort and, above all, our cosmic treason in believing that we know better than our Creator how our lives should go.” Tim Keller Apart from Jesus we are not on neutral ground.
