Psalm 103:11-12 (NKJV) 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
We all have sins in our life. We have done things in our past that we’re not proud of. Some things might have been pretty bad and they may even be things that we’ve never told anyone else about.
Sometimes those things can try to come back and haunt us, reminding us of who we used to be, before Jesus made us new. Guilt can try to creep in and cause us to hang our heads in shame.
And, of course, the enemy will also get in our ears and try to sling mud at us, telling us how worthless and dirty we are.
But we’re here today to tell you that if you have been washed in the blood of Jesus, none of that matters. The sins you carried before you came to the cross have been washed away, as far away as the east is from the west!
Stop hanging your head, because if you have repented and put your faith in Jesus Christ, He has made you brand new. You are no longer that old person.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
And if you’re feeling guilty about your past, it’s time to finally let it go because there is no guilt and no condemnation for followers of Christ. Once you became a child of God, your past was wiped out and you were given a brand new, clean sheet of paper to start your life over again. No more guilt.
Romans 8:1 (NKJV) 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
So lift your head today and look up to the cross of Jesus. Take heed to what He is saying, that you are new and guilt-free, and step forward into your future, leaving your past behind, once and for all.
