Have you ever thought what it would be like to live a life freed from guilt without the haunting feeling of regret and remorse consistently lingering in the recesses of your intelligence? Guilt is a difficult problem for numerous folks and how to deal with guilt is a question asked by many.
Instead of ask how one can deal with their guilt, perhaps a better question would be "How do I get rid of my guilt?" if one actually needs to live life out from under its clutches. Dealing has the logical implication of "getting by" or surviving the situation. It does not resonate with sensations of liberation or liberty. It still implies one is under some sort of burden.
Disposing of guilt is possible , although not through any program, therapy or practice invented by man. Guilt is the result of sin, which is doing, asserting or thinking anything that's in contrast to what God would have us think. That isn't a legalistic lifestyle, but rather selecting to live according to the principles set out in God's Word, which finally leads to real joy, freedom and peace. Living opposite to His Word is sin, which ends up in guilt and thus our thoughts of guilt. It makes very little difference whether one believes in God or not. In the book of Romans, chapter 1, we're told we are designed with an innate awareness of God and His features and attempting to "put a shroud over the truth" will not change it.
The worst thing about sin, which leads to guilt, is that's separates us from God. That separation, if not revived, leads to spiritual death and separation from God forever. The good news , God longs for all damaged relations to be restored and has given a way for reconciliation. It takes place when one believes that God the Father sent His sinless Son, Jesus Christ, to die as a sacrifice for their sins and recognizes their need for that sacrifice. Through His death on the cross, Jesus Christ makes it possible for any who believe to receive God's forgiveness of all of their sin, regardless of how great or small. God alone is able to pardon (officially release from any punishment i.e, eternal death) and excuse all who ask and believe. Once forgiven, we are no longer guilty for He forgives our sin and takes away the guilt of it. He does this due to His great love for us and His desire that we live forgiven and free from the guilt that incapacitates and weighs us down.
Does that mean we won't continue to do things which may lead to guilt? Definitely not, but God tells us that when that happens "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and solely to excuse us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9.
There is no reason for guilt to weigh you down any longer, not when God, the only one with the power to forgive, is prepared and waiting and eager to pardon you and set you free.
I encourage you to exploit our complimentary gift, "God's Answer?" It'll demonstrate how to live life thru a power that may transform your life. This journey of yours is not about your talents or abilities or anything you can do to alter your life. It is about allowing the power of God to radically change you.
How many years have each one of us tried to change our journey by our own gifts and abilities, only to find we fail or fall short almost all of the time. I had been a Christian for several years. I had taught, preached, and traveled to terribly threatening places to spread God's Word; yet, I continue to lacked the liberty and the transformation God had planned for me.
I encourage you to pay very close attention to the information in "God's Answer?" As you do, you'll see that God, in His perfect timing is waiting to take you on a journey that'll be beyond your wildest imagination.
Is a Breakthrough Really Possible?
Definitely! I've seen it in my personal life, witnessed it in the lives of others and know for sure that God's Word says His power to save, transform and empower us is available to all who ask and believe.
