Who will condemn us?

Condemn

Romans 8:34- Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that,who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Definition: Condemn- To declare guilty and sentence to punishment.

Paul teaches us four reasons believers can never be found guilty.

Christ’s death

Paid sin’s debt

Put sin away by the sacrifice of Himself

Christ resurrection

removed penalty of death

to see to the efficacy of His death in our behalf

His exalted position

the right hand of the king was anciently the seat of honor and signify participation in the royal power and glory.

Accordingly Christ’s sitting at the right hand of God signifies the glory of the exalted Son of man, and the power in the government of the world (Earth) in which He participates. That is why it is called “sitting on the right hand of POWER” and “sitting on the right hand of the Majesty on high”

Christ intercession

He sits next to His father and defends our stupidity.

Christ could be seen as a defense/prosecution lawyer. He defends are stupid and he also requests punishment for our actions. Every action has a reaction.

Conclusion:

Paul says Jesus is pleading for us in heaven. God has acquitted us and has removed our sin and guilt, so it is Satan, not God, who accuses us. When he does, Jesus, our advocate, sits at God’s right hand to present our case.
