Many believers today are struggling with guilt in their life because of which they are not able to come out of the the weakness they are webbed deeply into.
Guilt gives birth to fear & fear gives birth to spiritual death first, then soulish death which brings depression & then finally physical death.
Genesis 3:8, 11 NLT
When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. “Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?”
What made God more upset or angry ?
Was it the sin or was it the guilt in them for which they were thrown out of the garden?
God asked them," Who told you that you were naked?”
More than why you ate the fruit God was asking them who told you that you were naked?
When they are the fruit, their eyes were opened & yet they didn't sinned.
They sinned when they hid from the Presence of God because of guilt
Guilt is an incurable cancer & if you don't deal with it immediately, it will kill you
Adam & Eve were guilty in their own eyes first & that guilt couldn't be hidden from the Lord & that's why they tried to hide themselves by covering up for their guilt by wearing fig leaves.
Sin came into action or being when Adam & Eve became guilty of eating the fruit & which resulted in nakedness.
Guilt is the absence of God's presence.
Guilt brings fear & fear brings doubt & faithlessness & faithlessness brings seperation & seperation brings death in your spirit, soul & body.
The awareness of guilt in its maturity gives birth to sin & if not dealt with, it will kill you.
But there is a good news when you come to the Lord.
Do you think God couldn't give Adam & Eve a chance & forgive them, yes of course but guilt hid the revelation of God's Agape Love & alienated them from God.
For whom do you think Jesus came to die for?
For Adam & Eve till Judas who were the Jews.
Adam & Eve knew Jesus because before the fall, they would go to heaven to meet God & God would come to meet them in the cool.of the day.
Jesus became the way again for them to be restored to the Father.
We who are the gentiles, the non Jews are not the result of the death of Jesus but we are the result of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Even though Jesus came for the Jews & died for the Jews first we who then believe in Jesus are routed to that grace of the cross where we can now go to the cross & ask Jesus to cleanse us with the Blood of Jesus Christ & surrender our guilt & shame & receive freedom
Romans 8:1 TPT
So now the case is closed . There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.
Your case is closed on the Cross & every voice is silenced by the voice of the blood of Jesus Christ because you are joined with Jesus. The Spirit of God lives in you.
If guilt is suffocating you, look at the cross & exchange guilt with the confidence of walking in holiness by the Grace of God & experience your freedom in Christ.
