There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:1-2
Imagine being sentenced to death, but your attorney did something to get you found not guilty by way of a mistrial. That's what Jesus did for us when He died on the cross and was resurrected for us.
The charges against you were overwhelming. You couldn't say the charges were false because you know you did everything you were accused of. But you did them out of ignorance because you were persuaded by someone (Satan) you thought was your friend.
Jesus saw what you did, but He knew you were set up. So He advocated for you, defended you, and had enough pity on you to intervene and defend you with His blood. All you have to do is accept Him as your Savior, and He will give you the gift of Salvation—a verdict of not guilty!
Lord, I pray that if someone is reading this post and they aren't saved, they will simply confess their sins, express their belief in you, and repent so they can experience the unexplainable love you have waiting for them when you announce them "not guilty!"
