IS GUILT STOPPING YOU?

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance - now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant." Hebrews 9:15

Imagine that every time you sinned you had to go down to the temple with an offering. You had to or your guilt would remain. Think about it. The offering would remove the outward debt of the sin but never truly dealing with your conscience. 

In I John 1:9 we are reminded, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." The guilt, from the inner man out, is dealt with and removed. A great part of the new covenant is that God gives us a new heart. He renews our inner being in Christ. Our conscience is clean to live by faith in the love of Christ.

I guess the question is what guilt is stopping you? That is what Jesus died for. Take it to him. 

Thank you. Jesus, for dying, once and for all...Praise be to you in us today!
