Ever thought what it'd be like to live a life free of guilt without the haunting sense of regret and remorse continually lingering in the recesses of your mind? Guilt is a big problem for countless folk and how to deal with guilt is a query asked by many.
Instead of ask how one can deal with their guilt, perhaps a better question would be "How do I get rid of my guilt?" if one actually needs to live life out from under its clutches. Dealing has the logical implication of "getting by" or surviving the situation. It does not resonate with sensations of liberation or liberty. It still implies one is under some sort of burden.
Getting rid of guilt is possible though not thru any programme, care or practice devised by man. Guilt is the results of sin, which is doing, saying or thinking anything that is contrary to what God would have us think. That is not a legalistic approach to life, but instead choosing to live according to the principles set forth in God's Word, which at last leads to real joy, liberty and peace. Living in contradiction to His Word is sin, which leads to guilt and so our sensations of guilt. It makes little difference whether one believes in God or not. In the book of Romans, chapter 1, we are told we are designed with a built in cognizance of God and His endowments and making an attempt to "put a shroud over the truth" won't change it.
The most terrible thing about sin, that will lead to guilt, is that's separates us from God. That separation, if not revived, leads to spiritual death and separation from God forever. The good news , God longs for all damaged relations to be restored and has supplied a way for reconciliation. It occurs when one believes that God sent His sinless Son, Jesus Christ, to die as a sacrifice for their sins and recognizes their need for that sacrifice. Through His death on the cross, Jesus Christ makes it possible for any who believe to receive God's forgiveness of all of their sin, irrespective of how great or little. God alone is able to pardon (officially release from any punishment i.e, eternal death) and forgive all who ask and believe. Once forgiven, we are now not guilty for He forgives our sin and takes away the guilt of it. He does this due to His great love for us and His desire that we live forgiven and free from the guilt that debilitates and weighs us down.
Does that suggest we cannot keep doing things that lead to guilt? Definitely not, but God tells us that when that happens "If we confess our sins, He is loyal and just to pardon us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9.
There isn't any reason for guilt to weigh you down any longer, not when God, the only One with the power to pardon, is ready and waiting and eager to pardon you and set you free.
I encourage you to exploit our complimentary gift, "God's Answer?" It'll demonstrate how to live life thru a power that may transform your life. This journey of yours is not about your talents or abilities or anything you can do to alter your life. It is about allowing the power of God to radically change you.
How many years have each of us struggled to alter our path by our own abilities and capabilities, to find we fail or fall short the majority of the time. I had been a Christian for many years. I had taught, preached, and journeyed to extremely deadly places to spread God's Word; yet, I still lacked the freedom and the transformation God had planned for me.
I encourage you to pay really attention to the info in "God's Answer?" As you do, you will see that God, in His perfect timing is waiting to take you on a voyage that will be outside your wildest imagination.
Is a Discovery Truly Possible?
Definitely! I've seen it in my own life, witnessed it in the lives of others and know for certain that God's Word announces His power to save, transform and empower us is available to all who ask and believe.
