Psalms 51:2 NLT Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.
9 Don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.
For every born-again believer who is trying to live godly, if we sin, guilt will be present. It doesn’t matter if we ate too much or committed murder, guilt will accompany sin.
Some feel like guilt is necessary and good because it will help us stop sinning. However, Isaiah 53:5 Amplified says He was bruised for our guilt, and Hebrews 10:22 says our guilty consciences have been cleansed by Christ’s blood. These scriptures let us know God doesn’t want us having guilt. God’s goodness will lead a person to repentance (Romans 2:4).
So, although sin will accompany guilt, we don’t have to accept the guilt. Instead, we can receive and be grateful for His forgiveness, our righteousness, and our holiness (1 John 1:9).
Don’t let a slip up ruin your day, week, or month. If we sin, confess it, simultaneously receive the forgiveness that was made available through Jesus Christ, and move on. God doesn’t get any glory from our guilt. Guilt only negatively impacts our faith and relationship with God.
