Guilt Free

Guilt Free

Psalms 32:1 NKJV
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Satan wants you to feel guilty—even after you were forgiven.
It’s called false guilt.

We have to retrain ourselves by the Word to stop believing false
guilt is real and to start believing that we are guilt-free.

Acts 3:2-6 NKJV
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

“Alms” in the original Greek – benevolent giving; money or gifts for the relief of the poor

Hebrews 4:15 NKJV
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

False guilt is a wasted emotion.

Romans 8:28 works for preachers, for felons, and for everybody else.

Romans 8:28 NKJV
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

God pardons our sin if we simply ask Him and repent. When God pardons our sin, there’s no record left. He can’t bring it up because He’s chosen to forget it.

Psalms 130:3-4 NKJV
3 If You, Lord , should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared.

Mark iniquities – to keep an itemized account; to write out

I John 2:1-2 NKJV
1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

Jesus is our defense attorney. Jesus doesn’t defend us against the father, but against satan. Propitiation means to turn away deserved wrath by the satisfaction of justice.

I John 1:9 NKJV
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
