Erasing Guilt?
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
And to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 

We live in a world that considers guilt to be a bad thing. Psychologists will condone wrong behavior so as to relieve people of their guilty feelings. Rows of self-help books in stores tell people to get rid of their guilt and have self-esteem.

If there is no foundation of morality, the guilt is not needed. When we dismiss the fact that there is an absolute right and wrong – we also dismiss feelings of guilt. However, God has built in us an innate knowledge of right and wrong, which comes with feelings of guilt! 

Thought for the Day:
There is only one way to get rid of guilt
And that is through God’s forgiveness.
