(Hebrews 10:22)  What is guilt? Guilt: a feeling of having done wrong or failed in an obligation.  What is shame? Shame:  a painful feeling that's a mix of regret, self-hate, and dishonor.  How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God. -Hebrews 9:14 CONCLUSION: What money could not do Jesus did by shedding his blood! ★ Support this podcast ★
