Celebrating a Clear Conscience

Guilt is an oppressive inner burden that drags us down and stifles joy.It’s a sense of heart that stems from actual wrongs committed. Consciencehurts. We lie. We commit adultery. Guilt rises. It may only be temporary.We bury the bad feelings with excuses. We harden ourselves against theseugly pangs. Yet, when we are alone with our own thoughts, guilt onceagain rears its head. We cannot shake it off. Despite every effort, weknow God frowns on us.

There is only one final solution to guilt for sin. There is only one waythe sense of condemnation may finally be eradicated. It’s the simple andpowerful Christian gospel. Jesus Christ suffered and died as a perfectsacrifice for sins. This sacrifice pays the penalty due for very specificsins. This sacrifice brings peace with God. It removes guilt. It is GoodNews.

Our response? "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may bewiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presenceof the Lord" (Acts 3:19). Turn from the error of your ways. Return toGod. Trust the sacrifice of Christ as the only adequate payment for yoursins. God will lift the sense of guilt and blame from your heart."Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in ChristJesus" (Romans 8:1).
