The Weight of Guilt, Part 1

February 17, 2020 • Lynndey Reid and Casey Watson • Season 1 • Episode 14

The feeling of real guilt over sin is a gift from God meant to turn us towards repentance and right relationship with Him. Imposed guilt from ourselves and others often leads to isolation and feelings of shame. God wants us to be free from all guilt, by knowing what is real and dealing with it quickly and by recognizing when we are setting standards that don’t belong to God dictate chronic feelings of unworthiness and shame.
