We are certainly condemned by breaking the commandments, which is why the need for repentance is continually stressed in the New Testament. As Paul said, we would not even know what sin is if not for the law, i.e. the commandments (Romans 7:7).

We are guilty but not condemned.

Jesus took the punishment on himself and pours out his grace to sanctify us even in our sin.

Of course we should repent and mean it when we do.
