Romans 5:6-11 - Guilt Gone Forever
In this sermon, we explore the heavy reality of guilt, the relief of confession, and the freedom found only in Christ. Using the real-life story of Brian Keith Hawkins—who carried the weight of guilt for 25 years before finally confessing—we see how the conscience refuses to remain silent. His story mirrors the spiritual struggle King David describes in Psalm 32: when we hide our sin, our bones waste away and God’s hand feels heavy upon us.
But Scripture also reveals the hope that guilt is not the end of the story. Through Christ, God declares us justified, saved, and reconciled. In this message, we dig deep into these three powerful truths:
✅ Justified by His blood — In Christ, you are declared “not guilty.”
✅ Saved from God’s wrath — Jesus absorbed the punishment you deserved.
✅ Reconciled to God — Your relationship with God is restored through the cross.
We also confront the difference between the feeling of guilt and actual guilt. Sometimes your conscience correctly alarms you. Other times the “fire alarm” rings after your sin has already been forgiven. In both cases, the answer is the same: return to the cross of Jesus, where peace for the conscience is found and the gospel reigns.
This sermon walks through Psalm 32, penitence, confession, grace, and the joy of forgiveness. David moves from crushed bones to rejoicing in the Lord—and that joy is ours too through Christ.
🔹 Key passages: Psalm 32; Romans 5:6–8
If you’ve ever carried guilt… if you’ve ever wondered whether God could forgive you… if you need peace for your heart and assurance for your soul—this message points you back to the only place where true peace is found: the cross of Jesus Christ.
