Romans 8:1

Conviction says:

• This path is hurting you.

• This belief is false.

• Come home.

Condemnation says:

• You are hopeless.

• You are rejected.

• You are disqualified.

• You are your mistakes.

Conviction addresses behavior.

Condemnation attacks identity.

The father corrects neither son the older or the younger by denying their identity.

He continually affirms it.
