Dear Brothers and Sisters:
I am a person consumed by guilt for the sins of my past. I know our God has forgiven me, but I am having trouble forgiving myself. I need prayers for the release of this burden. Thank you all so much.
Do you realize that the Lord is happy with you when you love your neighbor as yourself? Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, what does this guilt I am feeling have to do with loving my neighbor as myself??? If your guilt has nothing to do with loving your neighbor as yourself (which if done indicates the entire law is fulfilled), why are you on a guilt trip? If you are a born again Christian, be assured that if you are obsessed with something that has nothing to do with loving God & neighbor, you are in a state of carnality, probably mixed with legalism.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh,
I live by faith in the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness is by the law, then Christ died in vain.
