R.C. Sproul | – Why Might a Christian Still Feel Guilty for Sin?
In this video, Augustus Nicodemus Lopes explains why a Christian may continue to feel guilty for sin. This video originally appeared on [support us] Read the transcript here: [support us]
Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
This is a gentle answer and a very mature one. I might need to revisit this video in the future. Thank you
Feeling guilty (blameworthy) is a part of a person's walk of sanctification, as a child of God. This guilt is a part of the growing realisation of the greatness of the cost paid @ Calvary for his/her redemption. The more that realisation grows, the more does the recognition of even the "smallest" of sins in the believers life also grows. This recognition creates a guilt that comes out of the feeling of not being able to respond to the love of God @ Calvary. This feeling of guilt in the believer's life leads to more love towards the Savior & a heightened desire to do the things that please Him.
This is what Paul talks about in 1 Tim 1:15.
The feeling of guilt as experienced by Judas though is one that comes out of an unregenerate (unsaved) heart.
How does one not feel bad when one sins? I don’t understand this.
Such a great help in a time of need for the saints of God who are weak and needy. Thank you and God bless!
I'm struggling with a certain sin, a type of addiction and I always beat myself up when I succumb to temptation…I have a broken and contrite heart, I hate the sin! Will God still forgive me?
Pastor Lopes is a fine addition to this series of short commentaries. His articles in Tabletalk always have been solid and helpful. An excellent and needed voice in the Ligonier family!
Wow… that was incouraging
Tio Nico!!!
Wow i needed this so much right now this was meant for me to see THIS thank you Lord for your mercy and Grace alone through faith alone solieo. de gloria
augustus nicodemus, a great pastor!
Great Pastor Nico
Very good.QUESTION
The best, I've ever here.HEARD
Why.W e/Christians still.SIN?
since Christ has saved us from our.SINS?
Another words: Why we are not as logic.Wants?
All sin.LESS?
HOLY?
If God is in control of everything then how is a person responsible for sin? Is God sovereign or is man sovereign? God elects His own before the foundation of the world which implies He also makes people knowing they're not elect. Why should we feel responsible for anything when He is all powerful?
No doubt there is no condemnation,… from God,….. but we still know we are sinners and that conviction is always there so that we therefore continually look to Christ to see Him as the propitiation FOR the sin we know we are guilty of,.. so that we can trust that we are able to approach the Throne of God in Prayer with a proper belief that our Justification is from His Son,….
¡Nice!
Que surpresa ver o Rev. Augustus Nicodemus neste canal. Conhece muito a Bíblia e mandou muito bem no inglês!
I have repented of all my sins five years ago, come September, that means all ! Now and then my past sins come back to haunt me , even though I have fully repented and have been forgiven .FOR God is merciful to repentant soul. I look back and see the sinfulness of my past sins. Watch Mike Desario teaching on U-Tube. Best bible teacher out there!
Mitodemus
Great answer Preacher. We must always fight against sin and seek sanctification. (1 Ts 4.3-7).
I can never abandon my sins, especially with girls, I am always involved in lying and fornication, so sad it is.
this was so good.
really needed to hear this today.
It’s a shame the reformed abolished Holy absolution.
So I’m being tested for 25 years?!!!
This makes sense, this has been reflecting in me past few months. Thank you sir
I don't think that God test our faith, because that doesn't make sense, he is the one giving faith,why should he tested?, we are in a new pact.
This kind of remorse is far, far better than having a cavalier attitude toward sin. It shows godly sorrow (regretting that you committed the crime) instead of worldly sorrow (regretting that you got caught). See II Corinthians 7:10.
Rev. Nicodemus ♥️ Wise man, wise words
Guilt is a powerful emotion, it's one of Christianity's strongest oppressors. When a person realizes that there is no good reason to believe in god, sin becomes irrelevant and humans become responsible to each other only. Christianity is a poison; once you rid it from your mind, you'll find that you can begin to heal.
É o abençoado pastor Augustus Nicodemus!
Awesome perspective!!
Pastor Augustus Nicodemos altamente amei a explicacao <3
ll people might still feel guilty. Has nothing to do with religion.
To many believers don’t have a true understanding of what Jesus did for them. They are always working daily for salvation. They do feel guilty of their sins. If you are a believer. You cannot sin. But you do sin. But as a child of God. He doesn’t hold those sins against you. You are forgiven. You sin less once you become a believer. You are being sanctified. You will struggle and stumble. Walk in the spirit. As a believer, your salvation is secure. That’s different from being sanctified. That takes a life time. You won’t be fully sanctified until you are with Him. Praise Jesus.
Addiction of any form ……i need help …i want jesus so badly in my life bt addictiin drags me down
This is some very helpful insight thanks for sharing!
