Did you know that if you’re a child of God, there is no condemnation that comes from God. Nothing you have ever done, or will do, can’t be covered by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. So why do we sometimes live with guilt and fear of past mistakes?

Do you ever beat yourself up or struggle with guilt after making mistakes?

I do.

I make a lot of mistakes when it comes to work. Often the mistakes come when I haven’t planned well or I am rushing to get work done. Then, because I haven’t paid attention to all the details I slip up. Then the thoughts start:

• “You should know better.”
• “You’ve failed.”
• “You never get things right.”
• “You let everyone down.”
• “Why do you always forget the details?”
• “You’re a disappointment to God.”

After this conversation with myself, I”m not feeling too great. These lies have weighed me down. The guilt hangs on me like a heavy millstone. I feel myself slipping away from God, too ashamed to be in His presence.

I forget the most important thing:

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1

Freedom Through Christ’s Sacrifice
