Guilt is the Holy Spirit’s way of telling you that you screwed up. Listen to It.
I’m not a Joyce Meyers fan but her statement is true. The key here is repented and accepted forgiveness. Satan does want to kee you wrapped up in guilt.
even after you sin and you’ve repented and you’ve been forgiven, he’ll come back around and try to accuse you.
She’s half right. All sin past present and future is forgiven when one repents.
But if we are born again we ought to be going against our sin because we fear God with a healthy fear.
Nothing new under the sun- same kind of apostates back in Paul’s day were saying the same thing- ie “Sin all you want so that God’s grace can abound”-
Paul called them out for the false preachers and liars that they were-
OK, don’t beat yourself up. Just stop it and ask forgiveness.
Hey Joyce- The ‘guilt feeling” you felt was not Satan- it was the Holy Spirit trying to get you to repent- so what you are telling us is that you have succeeded in silencing the work of the Holy Spirit in your life which convicts people of sin- You must feel so liberated /s
All sin is unholiness and separates us from God.
We are not given permission to sin by accepting Christ.
We are required to repent of our sins, even after accepting Christ.
Ah do what you want, if you want to live in eternity surrounded by the Love of God, stop sinning, repent and try harder, you want to spend eternity separated from the Love of God just do what you want. Simple.
Define “guilt.”
“Guilt” and “shame” really aren’t something we Christians should be simmering in. “Conviction,” yes. But shame and guilt ... not really.
Rather than dwelling in guilt, we should focus on God’s love, grace, and forgiveness. Through prayer, we can seek His guidance, find comfort, and ask for His help to resist temptation and live a life that honors Him
I feel guilt just clicking on the link with that clown-woman’s name.
Repent.
I’ve had more than one person, some of them “preachers”, tell me that once I am saved by accepting Jesus I am going to Heaven, no matter what I do after I am saved. I could murder somebody and it wouldn’t stop me from rejoicing in the glory of paradise because, well because I was “saved”.
These are the same people who told me that the lies people told in order to save Anne Frank from the Nazis were sins — sins as bad a murder because “all sins are equally bad”.
Strange what people believe.
Not my favorite, but she’s right about th -— once you’ve been forgo, you are no longer guilty.
A person totally without a sense of guilt is a sociopath; a person who wallows in guilt is a neurotic. Guilt is like pain - a warning that something is wrong. In Christianity, depending on one’s tradition, the remedy for guilt is confession of sin to God, a priest, or another believer. There is also a presumption that one makes a decision to avoid the sinful behavior in the future. Being weak, we often repeat the same sins and must therefore repent again.
