1 John 3:21, 22 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God. and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.
When we sin we should feel convict for what we’ve done against God. When conviction turns to guilt, then there is a problem.
The devil will attempt to make us feel guilty about what we’ve done. Our flesh wants to feel bad and we want to punish ourselves for what we’ve done. Somehow it makes us feel good about ourselves to know we punish ourselves for our sin. The next thing you know we’re still feeling guilty about something we did 10 years ago.
The punishment we give ourselves is not of God.
God promised when we confess our sins He is faithful to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and not to remember our sins (Hebrews 10:17, 1 John 1:9).
Be free from condemnation and let the past go, no matter how serious the sin seems to be. God will forgive and bless.
