The Gospel of John 8:11 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11 KJV)

When the Lord declared to the woman caught on the act of adultery, "Neither do I condemn you" affirming her response to His question, it gives an echoing message of assurance to all of us, sinners. Our Lord Jesus Christ saves! He did not come to condemn (John 3:17). He did not come to bring death. He came to give us life that leads to eternal life (John 3:16).

In this passage the Lord Jesus did not overlook the woman's sin. He recognized the seriousness of the sin she's accused of. The sin that demanded capital punishment, the Lord supplied His provision of grace. Mercy was given and a woman's soul was spared from eternal death. This all happened because this woman was brought into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the person of grace and truth. He who is God from the beginning. He who came down from heaven. He who put on flesh to be among us full of grace and truth (John 1:14). This woman was placed in the domain of grace.

Let us therefore come into His presence where we too can rest in His grace. No one that came in His presence by believing was ever disappointed. They were all blessed, healed and brought to life. And we too will be blessed, brought out of realm of sin into the realm of the living and life eternal, as we come. It is by our faith that we receive His abounding provision of grace. It is only in Him we can "go and sin no more." Apostle Paul exhorts us by these words: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:1-2 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
