The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin (John 16:8). Sin leads to a feeling of guilt so we know we’ve
done wrong. This is so we may repent and
ask God for forgiveness and then be restored in God’s eyes. He will not remember our sins (Isaiah
43:25). If the guilt persists, it might
not be of God. Romans 8:1 proclaims the
truth that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” A life with Jesus, filled with the Holy
Spirit, is one of peace and joy.
The truth is that God loves us all, even me. I’ve had over 3 years to ponder that and
eventually embrace it. I know now that I
am loved by God and not condemned because I am in Christ Jesus. Jesus took on all sin while hanging from that
cross on Calvary . That’s a huge gift – that’s how I’m
forgiven. It’s the miracle of grace. God’s Word is the truth that unlocks the
freedom from the prison of guilt and allows us to leave fleshly lusts behind
and walk in the Spirit.
This is my spiritual resurrection – I am dead to sin and
alive by the power of Jesus. Amen.
Grace & Peace
