God and False Guilt


Charlie Brown, Peanuts comic strip, moaned, “Everything that I do makes me feel guilty.”  A poorly informed conscience can create a miserable mind. 

Examples of improper thinking:

“God expects perfection therefore it is impossible to please Him.”  FALSE.  REALTY:  God invites each of us to turn to Him on a journey that is to be for a lifetime.  He expects us to grow and He patiently encourages as we clumsily make our way.  Jesus came into our history to make victory possible for those who seek God with sincere respect for His word. 

“I’ve made too many mistakes for God to forgive me.” FALSE.  REALTY:  Jesus came because all of us are sinners.  Paul’s words, “Christ came into the world to save sinners, and I am the foremost (chief) of sinners.”  I Timothy 1:15
