Occasionally, we may continue to experience a crippling sense of shame regarding past sins, even when we’ve been fully forgiven. It’s important to resist such false feelings of guilt and to stand instead on God’s promise that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1). And as you keep putting your trust in the facts of God’s Word instead of the feelings of condemnation, your conscience will eventually realign itself with truth.
