The term "condemnest" is an archaic form of the verb "condemn," which appears in older translations of the Bible. It is used to describe the act of declaring someone guilty or worthy of punishment. In the context of Scripture, condemnation often refers to divine judgment or the moral judgment of individuals by others.

Biblical Usage:

The concept of condemnation is prevalent throughout the Bible, reflecting both human and divine judgment. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul addresses the issue of judgment and condemnation in his epistle to the Romans. Romans 2:1 states, "You therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." Here, Paul warns against the hypocrisy of judging others while being guilty of similar sins, highlighting the self-condemnation that results from such actions.

Divine Condemnation:

Divine condemnation is a central theme in Scripture, emphasizing God's righteous judgment against sin. In John 3:18 , Jesus explains, "Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." This verse underscores the belief that faith in Jesus Christ is the means by which individuals can escape divine condemnation. The absence of faith results in a state of condemnation, as it signifies a rejection of God's provision for salvation.

Human Judgment and Condemnation:

The Bible also addresses the issue of human judgment and the tendency to condemn others. In Matthew 7:1-2 , Jesus instructs, "Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you." This teaching warns against the harsh and hypocritical judgment of others, reminding believers that they will be held to the same standard they apply to others.

Condemnation and Redemption:

While condemnation is a reality for those who reject God's grace, the Bible also offers a message of hope and redemption. Romans 8:1 declares, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." This verse provides assurance to believers that through faith in Christ, they are freed from the penalty of sin and the fear of condemnation. The redemptive work of Jesus on the cross is the foundation for this promise, offering believers a new identity and standing before God.

Conclusion:

The concept of "condemnest" in the Bible serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the reality of divine judgment. However, it also points to the hope found in Jesus Christ, who offers freedom from condemnation to all who believe in Him. Through His sacrifice, believers are called to live in the light of grace, extending mercy and avoiding the pitfalls of judgmental attitudes.
