Glory to God in the highest for freeing all of us from our evils. Glory to Him for snatching us out of the entanglements of our addictions and thorns of our wrong doings.
You who have accepted Jesus Christ as your King and have repented of your nightmarish evils are now free. Yet how is it that so many of us Christians, both young and old, still feel guilt for the crimes we've done in the past. Do you all not know that the moment you asked Christ to come into your heart and rescue you, that you were redeemed from whatever evil you have done in the past? Don't you all know that the torture Jesus Christ suffered on the cross was so that your crimes could be erased permanently? When you asked Him to, Christ came into your that very moment. And not only that, but you also became an inheritor of His glory. This is the God we now worship(The God of Abraham/Elohim). He is a God who wants to share His kingdom with us. We have all either killed, stolen, hated, blasphemed, cheated, etc. All of us have done it. But this is why God suffered torment in our place.
If we say we are still guilty of crimes that we asked the Lord to free us from, then we insult God's suffering at the cross. Jesus Christ never died in vain. So let's start acting like it. You are free. Your sins and transgressions have been eradicated, washed clean, and erased. They have been burned off and incinerated better than any medical disinfectant. Your former vices and Adam's vices, no longer travel with you. Instead the Lord's glory, beauty, love, and protection now walk along side you. Let no deception from the devil or from man tell you otherwise.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Roman Chapter 13: 12-14
