John 8:7-11

We are so quick to condemn, myself included, but that is not God’s way. He loved all of us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to this earth to die for us so that anyone who chooses Him will have eternal life with Him. Long suffering, merciful and abounding in loving kindness these are the characteristics of my Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Oh what a glorious God we serve!


Sin no more implies that Jesus forgave her. He did not condemn her, but neither did He condone her sin.

John 8:7-11


7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

11 She said, “No one, Lord.”


And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
