Guilt and Forgiveness

When Jesus died on the cross, He didn’t only pay for our forgiveness, but He paid the price to free us from guilt as well.

When we acknowledge or admit our sin to God, telling Him everything, refusing to hide our sin, we’re able to receive His gift of grace. Confession is good for the soul; it allows us to let go of heavy burdens that are caused by guilty secrets.

The feeling of guilt doesn’t always go away instantly, but we can choose to take God at His Word and say, “I am forgiven, and every trace of guilt has been removed from my record.” When we live by the truth of God’s Word, eventually our feelings will catch up with our decisions.

Let’s say it together: I receive what Christ did for me. I am forgiven; all my guilt has been removed, so I can move forward freely!

Prayer Starter: Father, today I choose to receive Your gift of forgiveness. Thank You that I can move forward knowing that You’ve already carried my guilt, so I can let it go. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 32:5 (AMPC)
