Freedom From Guilt

Forgiveness for yourself
One of the most difficult things that a newer christian or even sometimes longstanding believers struggle with, is the concept of forgiveness. This concept is a cornerstone of the Christian faith and How do we work this into our lives as we grow as christians. Jesus wants us to forgive and the holy spirit would spread in our society if we could all forgive ourselves for our pasts.
Forgiveness is easy for some people, but for others it’s very difficult. I know because I’ve been there myself. I was always a hard person to get along with and thought I was better than everyone else until one day when my mom introduced me to Jesus and everything changed.
Building the Relationship with forgiveness
- Pray – Prayer is one of the best ways to get through anything in life, especially when you’re going through something like this. Pray every day and ask God to help you forgive yourself so that he can move on with his plans for your life.
- Read your bible – The bible has many different stories about people who were forgiven and how they forgave themselves
- Fellowship – Find Fellowship with other like minded Christians- Work on strengthening your faith with others
Forgiveness is one of the most important concepts in Christianity, and it’s something that we have to work on every day.
It can be hard to forgive ourselves for our pasts, but we’ve all made mistakes—and we’re all forgiven, no matter how bad those mistakes were. God has forgiven us, so why don’t we forgive ourselves?
Because of this, the holy spirit will not spread through society if we cannot forgive ourselves for our pasts. We need to forgive ourselves for what we’ve done wrong so that we can move forward with a clean slate.
The idea of forgiveness is very important in the Christian faith. It’s not just a nice thing to do, but it can be the key to your life changing for the better.
Self Forgiveness and Forgiving others
Forgiveness is something that you do for yourself and others. It’s not about letting someone off the hook because they did something wrong to you, but rather giving them peace in their hearts and allowing yourself peace too.
When you hold onto a grudge against someone, it’s like poison in your body. It keeps you from living fully and experiencing all that life has to offer. Forgiveness allows us to let go of our pasts and move forward with our lives.

When I hear people say they can’t forgive themselves, it hurts me. I’m sure you have been there too. We have spent so much time replaying our past mistakes over in our minds, feeling guilty about them and beating ourselves up over them, that we have actually convinced ourselves that what we did was wrong. We feel like failures because of it and we don’t want anyone else to know about it. We want to keep it secret so no one will see how bad we are or worse yet, how weak we are because of those mistakes!
But here’s the deal… God has already forgiven you for your sins! He doesn’t care about what happened in your past because he knows that you are different now than when you made those mistakes in your life! He knows that through Christ, who forgives all sin (1 John 1:9)
Forgiveness is something that we often struggle with as Christians, but it’s something Jesus wants us to do. The holy spirit would spread in our society if we could all forgive ourselves for our pasts.
It’s difficult to live a life of forgiveness when you see yourself as a sinner and someone who has hurt others. But if you were to look at yourself through the eyes of Christ, you would see that he sees you as one of his children, who has been given a second chance at life. He sees your past as part of your journey towards him. He sees what he has done in your life and knows that no matter how much you have struggled, you are still worthy of his love and grace.
He loves us so much that he sent his son Jesus to die for us so that we could be forgiven for our sins and live eternally with him in heaven one day when we die. But even before then, he wants us to forgive ourselves for all the things we have done wrong in our lives and accept him into our hearts as Lord and Savior.
Forgiveness is a difficult concept to grasp and even more difficult to live out in our daily lives. But Jesus came to give us life, and that means he wants us to forgive ourselves for our pasts and move forward in the freedom that comes from doing so.
Forgiveness. It’s a big word, and it’s one of the most important things you can do to be a good Christian.
But it’s hard. Forgiving yourself for the mistakes you’ve made in life, or forgiving someone who hurt you—it’s not always easy. But it’s so important to your faith, and to your relationship with God.
When we are unable to forgive ourselves or others, we hold onto bitterness and resentment—and those emotions are toxic! They’re not just bad for us as individuals: they affect our relationships with everyone else too. They can even poison our relationships with God!
Jesus wants us to be able to forgive ourselves and others—but he also knows how hard it is for us sometimes. That’s why he sent his Holy Spirit down from heaven—to help us forgive!
