A U-Turn From Sexual Sinنموونە

The consequences for sexual sin have been reversed at the cross of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, far too many of us condemn ourselves or others to such a degree that we elongate the consequences or deepen their cuts by living in a state of shame, guilt, or blame.

But, in Christ, there is no condemnation. He has also dealt with shame, guilt, and blame. They are not of Christ. You are to allow the grace of Jesus to motivate you to live a life of holiness. Grace does not mean you are to cover up your sin as you continue to do it. But when you choose to repent and turn from sin, Jesus is there to help you to your feet and to set you on the path of moral purity. The consequences of sexual sin have been reversed at the cross of Jesus. 

Let grace guide you. Choosing to remain in a state of shame, guilt, regret, or bitterness over sexual immorality will only compound the consequences. Sexual immorality then becomes the first snowball that creates an avalanche of negative results due to the emotional, spiritual, and physical responses to the sin. But when you allow yourself to forgive yourself, or forgive someone else who may have mistreated you, or forgive your parents who may have divorced due to sexual sin, or whatever the case may be—you let go of condemnation.

Letting go of condemnation allows you to grab hold of grace. It is grace that will enable you to deny future ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly. It is grace that can set you on the right path of hope, peace, and love. 

Will you trust that God’s grace has covered your guilt and shame?
