None of us are completely free from the pangs of guilt. There are still issues that haunt us and revisit us about things we have done. At times, we are revisited by the shame of words misspoke or deeds done. Wounds of regret get reopened over events that we were part of or actions that were taken. Issues of shame resurface from memories of wrongs we have done. Feelings of guilt rise from the responsibility that we experience for things we have done.

Guilt is the fact or state of having committed an offense, violation or wrong against some moral code. It is the feeling of responsibility or remorse over some offense or wrong. It is the conduct involving the commission of wrongs.

Guilt is a common reality

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

– Romans 5:1-2

Faith in the loving action of Christ

Forgiveness comes only through faith

There is no possible way that we can ever have forgiveness from God accept through faith in Jesus Christ.

Forgiveness cancels our spiritual debts

Forgiveness is a divine gift

Release the guilt
