What can we do to get rid of guilt? King David was guilty of terrible sins and yet he experienced the joy of forgiveness. We, too, can have this joy when we (1) quit denying our guilt and recognize that we have sinned. (2) admit our guilt to God and ask for his forgiveness, and (3) let go of guilt and believe that God has forgiven us. (Rom. 4:6-8)
When some people learn that they are saved by God through faith, they start to worry. “Do I have enough faith?” they wonder is my faith strong enough to save me? These people miss the point, it is Jesus Christ who saves us, not our feelings or actions, and he is strong enough to save us no matter how weak our faith is. Jesus offers us salvation as a gift because he loves us, not because we have earned it through our powerful faith. What, then, is the role of faith? Faith is believing and trusting in Jesus Christ and reaching out to accept his wonderful gift of salvation. (Rom. 4:5)
