Neil Anderson has some great books. Maybe the best addiction/counseling books I have ever read.
"Freedom in Christ" and "Victory over the Darkness" are very very good.

I am free forever from condemnation. Romans 8:1

I do disagree with some of his statements however. For example Rom 8:1; doesn't say you are free from condemnation "forever".
It says There is no condemnation ... "for those who are in Christ Jesus". Some Bible say for those who "remain" or "abide" in Jesus.

 

[Br. Bear]

Yes, Brother.

Sometimes when the battle rages in a young and tender believer, a 'brick wall of defence' is of more use at the time, than a deep appreciation for all Scripture.

scenario: devil attacking and best reply is, that i am forever under God's care and all condemnation and inner whispers against the faith are silenced.... because I am in Christ Jesus!

I do disagree with some of his statements however. For example Rom 8:1; doesn't say you are free from condemnation "forever".
It says There is no condemnation ... "for those who are in Christ Jesus". Some Bible say for those who "remain" or "abide" in Jesus.

Thank you for pointing that out. It is important and should be noted.


Bless you ....><>
