       A think a good example of this is David’s sin with Bathsheba. There was no way for David to get truly free from the guilt brought about by everything that went down because he was living in the time before Christ. God hadn’t made the no condemnation package available back then. We are so fortunate and blessed by God today by what Christ has accomplished for us. By their flesh then back then, and even people today, by their flesh they cannot fulfill the righteous requirement of the Jewish Law. In today’s day and age, for those who are in right relationship with God through Jesus, no matter what a person has done, he or she can be free from any and every sin. It’s a truly radical and transformative thing. When we preachers say that anyone can come to Jesus and have the burden lifted from their shoulders, we’re not kidding. That’s what Christ does for people. He wipes their slates clean. And even for people who have already accepted him, as John said in the verse we read a little bit ago, God can even wipe away the Christian’s sin.
