For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned

It is not emphasized enough on this forum ( I am testifying as if to the fallen world through this forum) how when sinners we are against God, and the nonsense of evil mans mind is God wants them to remain as enemies.
The generation of vipers cannot speak good things. Out of the abundance of the mouth comes evil.
Every word that is spoken and not guarded against, is what condemns us on the day of judgement, and if our words are from the Spirit of truth they justify us, when we speak justly bringing forth good things out of the good treasure of the heart..
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
God loved us while we were yet sinners, ( not continuing to be sinners)
This blood of Christ justifies us to be saved from wrath ( as sinners)
As sinners we are enemies of God, and we need to be saved from being enemies..
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
The judgement from God was death on all who sinned to condemnation.
The free gift of Christ is righteousness, obedience for many to be made righteous ..
Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Sometimes we were enemies in our mind by wicked works, now we are reconciled to the Lord through His death to present us holy, and unblamable and unreprovable, if we continue in the faith settled..
Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
But many walk as it is testified, and as I have thoroughly testified here ( and ignored as was then ) that they are still the enemies of the cross of Christ, as they still mind earthly things..
Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Constantly the charge is for aduterers (who cannot cease from sin) to know they are a friend of the world and are then the enemy of God, as the carnal mind ( as repeated in Romans 7) is enmity against God and cannot be subject to the law of God ( the righteousness of the law of Christ) their spirit lusts to envy, the testimony is to submit to God and th devil then flees, to be cleansed you sinners and purify your hearts..
2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
That shows how there is therefore now no condemnation to those in Christ walking after the Spirit, as His obedience of righteousness overcame the disobedience of condemnation.
Sin is condemned in the flesh if we live in the Spirit, righteousness fulfilled in us, and our conscience knows if we do righteously or we don't..
Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
