Infused With Forgiveness

Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin.

Guilt is a legitimate spiritual response to sin, while regret is sorrow over the consequences of our decisions, both the sinful and the simply unfortunate. God promises to remove the guilt of all who seek his forgiveness, but he does not usually prevent the consequences of sin. Often we carry regret over those consequences and allow it to weigh us down with remorse. God promises to help you deal with your regret so you can move into the future without its heavy burden. He completely gets rid of your sin, so don’t take it back by hanging on to regrets. Instead, let the Lord infuse you with the assurance of his forgiveness.
