Even though I know I have been forgiven by God I am having a hard time forgiving myself for falling into sin after becoming a Christian. I know it’s robbing my joy. Please pray for me.

[nahomtedros]

All glory to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Holy Spirit, thank you so much that was so helpful

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $35, 500 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is more than enough!

Extremely helpful....only the evil one wants you to look back and then can constantly accuse you of past sin and guilt....recognize this attempt immediately and dismiss it !.... once forgiven by God, it is forever forgotten....gone!...our response to this grace/kindness should be pure gratitude and reflect it by doing the exact same thing and forgive others too.

I have never heard a more concise definition of true worship...

[marklundy]

Sometimes my past sins come to my thoughts and I feel horrible.

Romans 8:1
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Amen

I condemned myself for years and the LORD enlightened me through this verse. It changed my life because I knew it was true!

[alinasunar]

I was beating myself up so much for the sins I did. I was filled with shame, guilt and brokenness.
This video suddenly appeared on my feed. God knew what I needed to hear. Amen!

[Justin-ufih]

My guilt faded away when I told the truth and confessed my wrongdoings to whom I wronged. It was not easy, but I did bear my cross.

“Don’t wallow in your past sins”.—JM. I needed to hear this.

[harrymurray]

Being the ''Chief'' of sinners, makes the Apostle Paul one of the best teachers of all. He's been there, he's seen it, and hes done it.

There is a saying “if the enemy reminds you of past reminds him about his future”

[fernandogamboa]

When I am reminded of my great sin, I am reminded of Jesus' loving saving grace "What manner of love is this??, that while I was yet a sinner Christ died for me!" God's love compels me to live and honor Him.

🤔💭 SUCH a relief hearing him say this, because this is EXACTLY how I've been feeling the last several years & have been WEIGHED DOWN by the _increasing awareness_ of my sin‼️

[JesuslovesRudy]

This is an ABSOLUTE truth.. God bless you, .John MacArthur.

[chelsea]

The relief I felt listening to this was astronomical 🥺

[Dinosaurverde]

This is answer that I've been seeking. I plead guilty for almost 10 years of my sins and still live with that guilt, hindering myself to accept the love that I want from people.
I really have failed to accept the full forgiveness and grace of God.

Thank you for enlightening my heart. This made me see the message God has been wanting to tell me. 💖🤗

[jusstmee]

We need more like JM to reach those who dont believe they deserve forgiveness. Took me years to understand that. All glory to God the father.

[grace]

Thank you 😊 🙏. I needed to hear this. I was feeling so guilty about my past life 😢.

[debbiekling]

The past is washed away, and the present and future, sins are covered by the blood of Jesus, amen
