Scripture: Romans 4: 6-8
King David spoke of this, describing the happiness of an undeserving sinner who is declared “not guilty” by God. “Blessed and to be envied,” he said, “are those whose sins are forgiven and put out of sight. Yes, what joy there is for anyone whose sins are no longer counted against him by the Lord.”
Scripture Commentary:
King David was guilty of terrible sins: adultery, murder, lying. Yet he experienced the joy of forgiveness.
What can we do to get rid of guilt? First, we need to quit denying our guilt and recognize that we have sinned, admit our guilt to God and ask for His forgiveness. Then we should let go of our guilt and believe that God has forgiven us.
This can be difficult when a sin has taken root and grown over many years. It’s difficult when the sin is very serious, or involves others. We must remember that Jesus is willing and able to forgive every sin.
Jesus paid a tremendous price on the cross for us.
Have faith and believe you have no sin that God cannot forgive. It is Jesus Christ who saves us, not our feelings or actions. He is strong enough to save us no matter how weak we are.
Jesus offers us salvation as a gift because He loves us, not because we have earned it through our powerful works. Faith is believing and trusting in Jesus Christ, and reaching out to accept his gift of salvation.
God’s Word declares that sins confessed are sins forgiven.
