To overcome false guilt we have to replace the condemning thoughts that torment us with the truth of scripture. Thoughts produce feelings and if we think condemning thoughts we will feel condemned. On the other hand if we think scripture thoughts that focus on God’s grace and forgiveness we will feel accepted and forgiven. Romans 8:6 declares, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
LORD, if you kept a record of our sins,
— Psalm 130:3-5
who, O Lord, could ever survive?
4 But you offer forgiveness,
that we might learn to fear you.
5 I am counting on the LORD;
yes, I am counting on him.
I have put my hope in his word.
Lord Jesus, fill our hearts and minds with Your eternal word that we might have life and peace. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
