Did you know that if you're a child of God, there is no condemnation that comes from God. Nothing you have ever done, or will do, can't be covered by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. So why do we sometimes live with guilt and fear of past mistakes? Do you ever beat yourself up or struggle with guilt after making mistakes?

I do.

I make a lot of mistakes when it comes to work. Often the mistakes come when I haven’t planned well or I am rushing to get work done. Then, because I haven’t paid attention to all the details I slip up. Then the thoughts start:

“You should know better.”
“You’ve failed.”
“You never get things right.”

I forget the most important thing:

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1

We’ve gained our freedom from condemnation through Christ’s sacrifice. He put himself on the Cross because He loves us and wanted to take the weight of our sin away. That weight is eternal suffering and separation from God.

Since we’re children of God, when we repent of our sins, He promises to forget it. It’s as if the sin never occurred. So when we choose to continue to dig up that sin or feel guilty about it after receiving God’s forgiveness, we are basically saying that our sins are too big for the Cross.

Nothing is bigger than the Cross.

God knows we’re human. He knows we’re going to mess up. Yet He loves and forgives us anyway.

When guilt comes, remember: You are loved. You are chosen. You are forgiven.
