Guilt and Shame

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.

Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

…for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
