Oftentimes we walk with an overwhelming amount of guilt and shame, and we underestimate the power of the work on the cross. Not that there aren’t consequences for our sin—because it does affect things, and it does impact our relationships with other people and the Lord—but it doesn’t determine how God sees us and the compassion He has for us.
