Definition
Condemnation refers to the state of judicial guilt under covenantal law.
Context
In biblical language, condemnation is associated with transgression under law and the resulting separation from God. Within fulfilled eschatology, condemnation is understood as belonging to the prior age. If reconciliation is complete, condemnation no longer functions as a governing spiritual condition.
This does not eliminate moral consequence within material life. It reframes the theological category of standing before God.
Implications
Fear-based religious systems often rely on condemnation as a tool for control. If condemnation is resolved, coercive motivation loses its theological foundation.
Faith becomes relational rather than defensive.
Common Misunderstanding
The absence of condemnation is sometimes interpreted as absence of accountability. The Yeshuan Model distinguishes between condemnation and relational responsibility.
