How Can I Forgive Myself?
Mercy Me - Pt. 3 - Many Christians believe in God’s forgiveness in a theoretical sense. In other words, they trust that God won’t use their sins to keep them out of Heaven. But they still feel wracked with guilt. Is all guilt bad? What is the difference between true and false guilt? And how can we walk in freedom?
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
