| Have
you heard the voice of your conscience saying things like, “You deserve
hell for the sins you committed against your wife three years ago” or
“Why are you surprised that your child is not talking to you? You were
never around when he needed you”? |
|
| You
know, 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. 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.” Then, your conscience will look at the cross and say, “Ahhhh...
peace.” My friend, Jesus’ finished work at the cross truly sets you
free! |
