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.
