Guilt is a negative response to an unworthy or ungodly act.
Sadly, many Christians walk daily in this guilt due to their feelings of unworthiness and as a result, fail to move on in life. Who in fact is worthy? Who has a right to stand upright before our awesome, holy God? Nobody!
Guilt is a result of sin. Sin is simply to “fall short” of the mark set before us as if you were throwing a stone at a target and continued to miss it and fall short of it. “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”, Romans 3:23.
How do we overcome these dreaded feelings of guilt & shame? The answer is simple. Repent! God back to your Maker and walk away from the sin that so easily entangles. Many try to ignore guilt and live in denial but that simply does not work. Why walk in guilt when Jesus has a life of joy and freedom available to ALL who repent. Christians above all else should understand this fundamental truth & live by it.
After all, isn’t that the reason that Jesus died?
Love from your pastor, Daren.
