For He made Him who
knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in
Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21
Studies suggest that
68% of all humans will experience “guilt” at some point in their life Almost
11% live with daily guilt, most likely from past mistakes that haunt them
throughout their lifetime. Those burdened with guilt could be men and women
locked up in prison, spiritual leaders who’ve acted immorally, or maybe this
speaks to you. Guilt comes with a heavy weight, almost like an anchor, and it
reduces the quality of one’s life, especially when it relates to your spiritual
life.
As a child of God, you
need to be reminded of today’s verse. Jesus Christ became a sacrifice for YOUR
sins, so you could stand before God, holy and righteous. You might be thinking
that your wrongful actions (sins) have negatively impacted so many lives and
believe it to be impossible for God to even consider forgiving you. Let me
remind you about King David’s immoral actions. David saw Bathsheba and lusted
after her, had an adulterous affair with her, she became pregnant, and David
had her husband put on the front lines of battle to be killed. After David came
to his senses, he repented. Although his life had serious repercussions from
his sinfulness, God called him a man after His own heart (Acts 13:22).
For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Friend, if you
believe in what Jesus Christ did on the cross to make payment for your sins and
have asked Him to come into your heart to forgive you and make His home in your
life, then you are considered “GUILT FREE” in the eyes of God. Let go of that
heavy burden of guilt that has been holding you back from becoming a free child
of God. God loves you and wants to forgive and forget your past. Live today for
Him knowing you are free indeed
Therefore, if the
Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36
