Extending The Love That Resides

God's love isn't shown when we withhold from those in need. His love is made most evident by extending the love that resides within us.

There's no room for condemnation in Christ Jesus. We have confidence before God and others as we proclaim Christ to ourselves and to world.

In Jesus, we can rest in the knowledge of His love for us, which speaks louder than the shame of our hearts; it is in this truth we belong.

There is no condemnation for those in Christ. He offers repentance and freedom for you, like the woman, to kiss your sin and shame goodbye.

It was as true for the adulterous woman as it is for you and me: Christ has power over all accusers. He didn't come to condemn, but to save.

Watching people walk away is a hard place to be. However, there is a special blessing to be found when only Christ is left beside you.

Whose voice do you hear in the moment of failure and disobedience? If it’s the voice of condemnation, it’s not Jesus' voice.

Jesus knew of the woman's bad reputation and what had led her to this point. In Him, we can what it means to be known and loved anyway.
