MARCH 15
Free from the Ghost of Guilt!
“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12
There are two days that can steal the joy from today. One is yesterday and the other is tomorrow.
Paul exhorts in Philippians 3:13-14, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
We are to forget the past--the guilt, the glory, the grief, and the grudges. Paul was one who was guilty, along with others, for the stoning of Stephen. He said he was the chiefest of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). But Paul buried that guilt in the grave of God’s forgetfulness.
Maybe you’ve done something so horrible that you’re gripped with fear to think someone would find out what you’ve done. Have you repented? Then don’t be haunted by the ghost of guilt.
Have you done something worse than being an accessory to the murder of one of the leaders of the New Testament Church?If Paul can be forgiven, my friend, you can be forgiven!
