       We as Millennial Christians like to talk about our identity in Christ, and I think rightfully so, we should talk about our identity in Christ. In Romans 8:1, Paul told us not to live under condemnation in our lives. One key element of our Christian lives is that we live in a condemnation-free environment. Isn’t that a great thing? I sure think it is. We are not to be a Christian who walks around with his or her head down all the time over the latest sin we have identified in our lives, or of which we feel we’ve committed. Personally, I can’t stand people like this, who act this way. Don’t forget the fact that we have been made righteous before God in his sight. We are righteous before him. Yes, we still have to deal with sin, but God sees us as perfect before him. We cannot, must not, and should not walk around all the time considering how bad we think we are. No, we need to consider and keep in the forefront of our minds who we are in Christ, that we are God’s righteousness in him.
