Is Guilt from God?
Posted October 15, 2007 by Ben Kunkel


No!  Romans 8:1 says that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  If you have a relationship with Jesus Christ then you are no longer condemned your punishment was paid when Christ died in our place on the cross.  I think a lot of people confuse guilt and conviction.  The Spirit of God does convict us of sin and show us that if we are without a relationship with Christ we are guilty before God. (John 15:8-11) But God does not bring guilt trips on us.  Those are brought about by ourselves, others or the devil.  If we have a relationship with God we are free from the judgment that is to come!  What great news!

Rahab experience this freedom from guilt regardless of her horrific past.  This gives me hope that I too no longer need to deal with guilt in my life because of my relationship with Christ.  Rahab had a pretty shady past but God was able to intersect her life and change her life.  What a miraculous life change took place with Rahab.  I don’t know your past and what you are dealing with but God desires to intersect each of our lives and change us releasing us from our guilt.  Whether you have drug addictions in your past, prostitution, adultery, abortion or murder whatever your past God longs for us to come to him and be freed from this bondage of guilt.
