How can we be cleansed of a guilty conscience? As we look back on our lives, we can all remember a time that our conscience has accused us: A bad decision, a moment of pleasure, a hurtful word, a broken relationship. As much as we wish it didn’t happen, we know that it did. We long to be free from the burden of guilt, but we know deep down we are guilty. The wonderful news of Hebrews 9 is that no matter what we have done, we can be fully and finally forgiven by God.
