It Starts By Faith

Past experiences can lead to guilt that becomes buried so deeply inside us. How do we get rid of the guilt, the shame; that scarlet letter we feel on our chest?

It starts by FAITH.

“But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, BUT because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.” Romans 4:5

Jesus died on the cross so that our sins could be forgiven. Joy will fill your heart and soul when you realize (through faith!) that when you admit your sin and ask God for forgiveness….He will do it!

How? Spend time with Him every day! Read His word! “He is the Word of life.” You’ve got to stay connected to the source!

“If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:8-9

This is the difference between RELIGION vs having a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ.

This is the difference between DENIAL and HUMILITY.

This is the difference between FEAR and LOVE.

We are saved only through faith in Christ and with that faith we trust Him to forgive our sins. The guilt sheds away…..

You can’t “be free of guilt” in your own willpower. Confess your sins, commit not to continue that sin, and pray for strength to fight temptation through the power of the Holy Spirit living inside you. Through the power of the Holy Spirit you are no longer controlled by your sin nature. And then you can experience the joy, peace and love that only comes through Jesus Christ.

Love,
