There are people who feel depressed all the time because of a sense of guilt, and they “pay” for their sins in terms of illnesses.
In fact, doctors are discovering that many psychosomatic sicknesses are caused by guilt and condemnation because the conscience is saying, « You have done wrong. You must be punished. How can your sin not be punished? »
That is why you must have an answer that will satisfy your conscience.
« The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! »(Hebrews 9:13-14)
When your conscience says, « You have sinned. You must be punished for this sin or else God is not a just God », you say, « Yes, I have sinned. But this sin and every other sin that I have committed were punished to the maximum in the body of Jesus Christ! So there remains no more punishment for me today, for how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse my conscience! »
My friend, the only way to bring peace to your conscience is to look to the cross.
The cross of Jesus is the only answer that will satisfy your conscience.
So the next time your conscience condemns you because of sin, don’t try to silence it with your good works. Look to the cross and say, « Father, thank You for Jesus and the cross. Jesus was totally condemned on my behalf for this sin, so there is now absolutely no condemnation left for me. »
PRAYER:
Eternal our God, give us to always have peace in our conscience.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
