No Guilt, No Shame

Psalm 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

These inspired words give relief and hope. I immediately thought of John 3:17, "For God did not send his son into the world to condemn it, but to save the world through him." In Jesus, we have no guilt and no shame. "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Paul's words from Romans 8:1. We have been set free from the sin that entangles us. Because of the finished work of the cross, we get to be in holy relationship with our Father in Heaven. Jesus has taken care of it all, from redemption to resurrection. What mercy bestowed upon us!  The forgiveness of sin and the assurance of eternal life are an incredible gift. I hope you personally know the beauty of redemption and the blessed assurance of resurrection. If not, tell God you want to have a relationship with Him. Accept the gift of forgiveness He offers in Jesus' death on the cross, and receive the hope of eternal life with Him. Be set free from your guilt and shame and experience the deep joy that comes from a personal relationship with God the Father.
