We live in a world that's quick to pass judgement and condemn. Whether it be our hearts, or people, society, or just the devil. Some of us may be in the state of actually being condemned because we aren't saved (John 3:18). Whether it be a state of actually being condemned or just feeling condemned. Jesus can deliver you from condemnation! He came not to condemn but to deliver from it!
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Romans 8:1, John 3:17, John 8:11
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
In this story we see a woman who deserved to be condemned but God delivered her and if you’re here struggling with feeling condemned or actually being condemned Jesus can solve it!

Caught in sin

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Deserved(s) punishment

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

By the Law- Romans 5:18
By our selves- 1 John 3:20
By the devil and enemies- Revelation 12:10
The Mercy of God ( John 8:5-9 )
They religious leaders wanted to trap Jesus
They tried to make him contradict Moses and the Law
Rather than contradict the Law he fulfilled it and then redeemed her!
Matthew 5:17

Instead of destroying her he delivered her!
The same is true for us!
That sin you’re ashamed of and that feeling of not being good enough,, it is nailed to the cross and Jesus has delivered you from it!
We now receive his righteousness
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Jesus ignored her accusers!
He ignores yours too!
Romans 8:33-34
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
There were no accusers left!
Redemption offered
He forgave her!
She called him Lord!
He can forgive you too!
No deliverance without trusting him

He freed her to go to an new life
“Go and sin no more”

He can free you too!
If you’re here and not saved you’re condemned but Jesus can deliver you!
If you’re saved you can be freed from condemnation!
Romans 8:1, John 3:17
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
