Sermon: 1/11/26- Thursday's Devotional

Freedom from Guilt and Shame
Reading: 1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1

One of the enemy's most effective weapons is reminding you of your past. He whispers that you're too far gone, too stained, too broken for God's grace. But Scripture declares a different reality: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us." "There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus." The guilt and shame you carry are not from God—they're tools of the enemy to keep you distant from the Father who longs to embrace you. God doesn't want you imprisoned by your past; He wants you free in His forgiveness. Today, bring your guilt and shame to God. Confess specifically, receive His forgiveness fully, and walk in the freedom Christ purchased for you.
