No Condemnation

Name: Chalcedon
Price range: $

In Christ we all face the court of Almighty God, and the sentence that is passed against us is no condemnation. We are declared justified, we are just before God because Christ is just, and we are members of His body; so in Christ we are acquitted. He takes the sentence, and we are in Christ if we live not in terms of our fallen nature, but in terms of Christ; if we walk not after the flesh, our human nature, but after the spirit.

About the author

R. J. Rushdoony

Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God’s standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God’s law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church’s false view of God’s law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as “Christian Reconstruction.” He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.
