Guilt And Forgiveness

Guilt and Forgiveness “I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions.” Isaiah 44:22.

Guilt is inescapable. The Bible proclaims that we all have broken God’s laws. Therefore, guilt rests upon the entire human race. Some people may feel it more intensely than others, but the guilt is there, whether in the conscious or the subconscious realm. It must be dealt with before we can become fulfilled personalities. This is why Jesus died. He shed His blood to purge our dead consciences. So guilt is not all bad, for without it there is nothing to drive a person toward self-­ examination and toward God’s forgiveness. The human heart is empty; hearts that are not attuned to God will become catch basins for every device of the devil. Satan has control over multitudes whose hearts have never been captured by Jesus Christ. The devil has hundreds of agents writing pornographic literature and producing immoral movies to pollute human minds. He has intellectuals in high positions teaching a hedonistic and permissive philosophy. While the culture has had great success in infiltrating people’s minds, it is possible to overcome. The Bible is filled with testimonies of those who, by God’s grace, were victorious over Satan’s power. John Newton was a slave trader. One day in a storm at sea, he met Jesus Christ and it changed his life forever. He will always be remembered for writing the hymn “Amazing Grace.” No one is beyond the reach of the loving arms of the Savior.
