Quote from the book, Bought With Blood. When the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, He says, “You did this. It was wrong. You need to repent and put it right. This is how you do that.” Once you have confessed and repented and done whatever is necessary to make restitution, the matter is closed. There are no afterthoughts, nothing further that you should or should not have done. With guilt, however, you never quite know if you have done enough. Perhaps someone feels you did not treat him or her right and is feeling rejected, upset and hurt. Yet somehow it does not matter what you say or do to that person; it is never enough. That is not the Holy Spirit working; that is another, evil power, from a different source. Be on your guard, then, against anything that makes you feel guilty. This is a denial of the work of the cross—very different from the specific conviction of the Holy Spirit. Guilt never ends; it goes on and on. Nothing you can do is ever sufficient. If Satan persists in his attempts to make you feel guilty, you can take your stand on God’s promise in Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage [or inheritance] of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from me,” says the LORD. What wonderful news! Nothing the devil devises as a weapon against you will succeed! So relax. He may continue to use the weapon of guilt against you, but he will ultimately fail. *************************************************************************** Today is the last day of the e-book sale for this book.
