Game On – Week 4: Receiving God's Forgiveness

How do I move from guilt to forgiveness? Words we have heard said to us, or have said to ourselves, can shape our reality. God in Christ invites us into a new life. Christ forgives us and frees us to that we don't have to live under the power of guilt. Part of what it means to walk in new life is to change our thoughts. Guilt and shame keep us trapped in our past and stunt what we are able to do going forward. We do not need to be defined by our sin. By the power of Christ's death and resurrection, we do not need to hold onto guilt and shame. Forgiveness is a gift God offers to us in Christ. All we need to do is receive it and follow Jesus.
