The past two weeks, I have been to two different churches, both a blessing! Both pastors preached the same message. I figured I needed to tune in if I was hearing it two different times, two different places.
Guilt.
So many believers are stuck in guilt.
God calls His children to "refuse to massage the memories but ask him to redeem it!"-Pastor Chip Henderson, Pinelake Church
"Don't let anybody pin something on you that has already been nailed to the cross....The saddest thing is for a blood bought believer to be stuck in guilt."-Pastor Wheat, Highlands Presbyterian Church
"When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross."-Colossians 2:13-14 that's the Gospel message tried and true!
A close friend told me once, "That's not part of our story now is it?" God looks at my past sins and doesn't see them anymore. They don't keep me from Him. They don't tie me down. He gives me a new story. He changes me.
