There is now no condemnation

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 (KJV)



This verse simply means that those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners. If you belong to Jesus, you won't be punished for you sins, for they are gone. So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned with the unsaved world. God now looks favorably on you aside from the fact you have sinned, because of your joining together with Jesus.

What a joy it is to walk about not conducting ourselves according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Consequently, there is now no condemnation to the ones who are in Christ Jesus. All the condemning accusations have been answered. We are free of the condemnation of sin.
