There Is No Condemnation for Your Mess-ups

没有对你混乱的谴责

Jul 4, 2017

“There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1 TEV).

“如今，那些在基督耶稣里的人就不被定罪了。”（罗8:1 和修）

God knows that failure is part of life. He doesn’t expect us to be perfect. He’s not surprised when we mess up. In fact, he sent Jesus to clean up our mess. He didn’t send him to point an accusing finger.

上帝直到失败是生命的一部分。他不希望我们变得完美。他也不在我们跌倒的时候惊吓。他也不会指指点点。

That means no matter how bad you blow it in life, God will never condemn you. He is for you, not against you.

这意味着，不管你在生活中多么糟糕，上帝永远不会责备你。他会为你，而不是反对你。

This is especially encouraging when you are trying to make changes in your life or get healthy or overcome a tough circumstance. Knowing that God is for you, not against you, will change the way you respond to the times you slip up. It should give you the confidence to keep moving forward in faith, because God is on your side. He wants you to have victory through him over your hang-ups and mess-ups!

当您尝试改变生活或获得健康或克服困难的情况时，这是特别令人鼓舞的。知道神为你而不是反对你，会改变你对你滑倒的时候的回应。因为上帝在你身边，所以应该有信心继续前进。他希望你通过他胜过你的烦恼和混乱！

God does not expect you to be perfect in life. That’s why he sent his perfect Son — to cover the sin that you wouldn’t otherwise have been able to overcome.

神不希望你在生活中是完美的。这就是为什么他派他完美的儿子————来掩盖你本来不会克服的罪恶。

You are not a failure to God. The only time you fail is when you refuse to get up and keep going.

你不是对神的失败。 唯一失败的时候是你拒绝起来，继续前进。
