What can we say to people who carry with them such terrible secrets and unbearable burdens? What word of hope do we have? This word: God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son to redeem all who trust in Christ. God forgives and covers all their sin, and he never counts that sin against them for all eternity because he counted that sin against Christ instead. Only this message can comfort a non-Christian’s guilt-racked conscience.
