Condemnation.

But if we have been redeemed, and we have accepted Christ as our saviour, from our sins of the flesh, why do we continue to be guilty?

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/2co.5.10.NIV

This is the part which gets a little bit confusing. God understands that while we are on this earth, and in the flesh, the potential and occurence of sin is inevitable, either in thought or in deed, and he guarantees us freedom and liberty through our acceptance of Christ.

And from our acceptance, which is = redemption, for as long as we are alive, and there is a happenstance of sin, that burden has been wiped off and we are no longer condemned, just as long as we have acceptance of Christ, thats our salvation?

And the Holy Spirit lives within us, and guides and directs us. In all of us?

Is my conscience = to the guidance. If I think of wrong, and my conscience does not allow a course of action, is that the Holy Spirit talking to me. Do some people have more of the Holy Spirit than others?

1 Peter 2:18 gives a prescription to submission. There is a slave and master in the historical and biblical reality when the text was written, slaves being asked to submit to their masters. So I think context is important, and interpretation of an unhappy marriage as being a yoke is one thing, but it shouldnt be translated into the present modernist reality, where we are now, when slavery itself has been abolished for over a century and only exists covertly. Should there always be a yoke?

….

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

Romans 3:20 NIV

https://bible.com/bible/111/rom.3.20.NIV

So here we are told that we cannot live completely righteous lives. And we are doomed to fail in all our attempts. But what gives? Does God accept us with our imperfections?

Romans 3:22-25 gets even more interesting. Kind of makes the chase for righteousness futile...and only acceptance of Jesus who has atoned for us, the way to keep judgement favourable?

God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
