In this episode of Beyond Just Christian Podcast, Brenna discusses how our belief in Jesus surpasses the guilt we feel due to sin. Using Scriptural references to describe what guilt and belief both mean, Brenna also uses two men as examples of coming humbly before the Lord for mercy. The first man is the father of a demon-possessed boy (Mark 9:14-27), and the second man is a tax collector (Luke 18:9-14).
This message is for the individual who…
- is heavily burdened by their guilt from past or present sin
- is suffering from guilt, whether their actions were intentional or accidental
- is struggling to believe Jesus is stronger than their feelings and disbelieving that Jesus can relieve them of their guilt
- is struggling to believe that Jesus really did die for the sake of their sins and loves them despite these sins
- is aware they cannot save themself
By the end of this episode, Brenna hopes that listeners remember that God’s love for them is greater than their feelings of guilt and know how to respond when these feelings show up again.
