OCD fear after reading Romans 14:22-23

[Scared but trusting God]

So I was reading the Bible and came across 14:22-23. After reading this I got scared because I realized that my mind convinces me so many non sinful things are sins due to OCD. For example, last week my obsession was about meat being a sin even though I know it isn’t. I’m scared that I’m condemned for doing these things now. I feel so lost and terrified right now. Please help

Well you can't take verses out of context like that, you have to look at what it say in complete context. You may need to talk to a Doctor about this anxiety and POCD, it seems because of this lock down it is causing massive anxiety and we see it here a lot. Rest assured these thoughts you have are not real

Read Romans 8. There is NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Let the truth settle in your heart and set you free.

Romans 14:22 Hast though faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Your condemnation is all self condemnation (Happy is he that condemneth not himself). None of this condemnation is from God so go back to Romans 8:1 and rest in that, so you will know that there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Also go back to Romans chapters 3 thru 5 and notice how many times it says we are justified freely by his grace.

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
