No condemnation, now that's really beautiful news.

The beauty is also that in the gospel there is no place for boasting. Jesus Christ the righteous one died for your sins, He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures, eternally triumphant, so that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who believe. It’s all about God’s glory. “God's greatest glory is manifested in his grace that he shows to those who deserve the very opposite.” Modern Reformation

That’s why we can say there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus but only everlasting joy for those who believe. It’s all about Him.
It is clearly shown to us in the scriptures by God.
But you won’t see it until he lifts the veil from your eyes.

Simplicity in a trusting relationship

The most beautiful things also tend to be the simplest and best things. The simplicity of the gospel is that He did it all. The beauty is in surrendering to Jesus Christ through simple trust in His ability to save us from the wrath to come.
