God forgives even the worst of sinners. But sometimes it can be almost impossible to forgive yourself. There is nothing the devil would like more than to torment you by reminding you of your past. So what can you do? I have good news for you: The Bible addresses this specific problem!
Jesus said, βIf you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.β John 8:31-32 NIV
Β Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidenceΒ to enter the Most Holy PlaceΒ by the blood of Jesus,Β … let us draw near to GodΒ with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings,Β having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience …”Β Hebrews 10:19-22 NIV
The Apostle Paul said,
“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinnersβof whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.” 1 Timothy 1:15-16 NIV
Saul, who later became known as the Apostle Paul put Christ-followers to death! But he said that Jesus showed him mercy to display His immense patience as an example for us. Yes, God even forgives murder.
Paul said, “I persecutedΒ the followers of this WayΒ to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison…” Acts 22:4-5 NIV
The Good News is this:
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2 NIV
The blood of Jesus brings forgiveness for the vilest sin. It will even cleanse you from a guilty conscience. The cross is enough!
