What Can I Do With My Guilt? (Crucial Questions, #9) QUOTES

1 " In Old Testament Israel, drunkenness was a problem, and God spoke against drunkenness and saw it as a serious sin. But the problem was the drunkenness, not the drink. "

2 " We are told in Scripture that it is possible for people, by repeated sins, to lose the capacity for embarrassment and shame. The Bible frequently speaks of the hardened heart, which causes a person no longer to feel remorse for his or her transgression. It is dangerous for us to rely totally on our guilt feelings to reveal to us the reality of our guilt itself because we can quench the pangs of conscience. "

3 " But it’s one thing to adjust the sight on the bow or to reduce the distance to the target, and it’s another thing to ask God to adjust His character. Remember, the law of God flows out of the character of God, and His laws are righteous because He is righteous. He will not adjust the law that reflects His perfection to accommodate you and me. As long as He doesn’t adjust that law, we remain guilty before that law. "

4 " Hemos discutido las abstracciones, los argumentos racionales a favor de la existencia de Dios y todo lo demás. Dejemos todo eso a un lado tan solo un momento y permíteme preguntar lo siguiente: ¿qué haces con tu culpa?”. "

5 " The bottom line is that any time we experience feelings of guilt, we need to step back and ask ourselves as honestly as we possibly can, “Have I broken the law of God? "

6 " La gente me ha dicho en muchas ocasiones que el cristianismo no se trata de reglas y normas; se trata de amor. Eso sencillamente no es cierto. El cristianismo se trata del amor, pero eso es así porque el amor es una de las reglas: Dios nos manda que lo amemos a él y unos a otros. El cristianismo no se trata solo de reglas y leyes, pero las reglas y las leyes decretadas por Dios han sido un hecho de vida desde el día de la creación. "

7 " But Satan comes to believers, just as he came to Joshua the high priest in the book of Zechariah (Zech. 3:1–5), calling attention to our dirty garments and accusing us of our sins. Why does he do that? Why would Satan invest so much time and energy in accusing people who have been forgiven of their sins? As the archenemy of God and His church, Satan wants to paralyze us, to rob us of our freedom, to take away from us our joy and our delight in the free grace of God. "

8 " When the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, He does so to bring us to repentance and, ultimately, to bring us to reconciliation with God, to forgiveness, to healing, and to cleansing. In other words, when the Spirit of God convicts us of sin, His entire purpose and entire motive is redemptive. When Satan accuses us, perhaps of the same sin, his purpose is to destroy us. That’s why Paul says: “Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. "

9 " La simple verdad es que si Dios nos perdona, estamos perdonados. Ese es un estado de cosas objetivo. Tal vez nuestros amigos no nos perdonen. Tal vez nuestro cónyuge no nos perdone. Tal vez la sociedad no nos perdone. Tal vez el gobierno no nos perdone. Pero si Dios nos perdona, estamos perdonados. Eso no significa que nunca fuimos culpables. No podemos tener perdón si no hay una culpa real. Pero el perdón nos libera del castigo que con justicia merecemos por nuestra culpa. A través de él, podemos ser restaurados a una saludable relación de amor con Dios. "

10 " La respuesta a la culpa siempre es el perdón. Lo único que conozco que puede curar una culpa real es el perdón real”. "

12 " Christianity is not just about rules and laws, but rules and laws decreed by God have been a fact of life since the day of creation. "

13 " La Biblia dice: “Opongan resistencia al diablo, y él huirá de ustedes” (Santiago 4:7b). El poder de resistencia que tenemos es la verdad de Dios. ¿Qué puede ser mejor para resistir la acusación de una conciencia culpable que decirle a Satanás: “Le he confesado ese pecado a Dios y él me ha perdonado”? Si lo resistimos de esa forma, veremos al león rugiente salir corriendo por la calle con la cola entre las piernas. "

14 " En la Escritura se nos dice que es posible que, a causa de los pecados reiterados, las personas pierdan la capacidad de sonrojarse o avergonzarse. La Biblia habla a menudo del corazón endurecido, que hace que la persona ya no sienta remordimientos por su transgresión. Es peligroso que confiemos plenamente en que nuestros sentimientos de culpa nos revelen la realidad de nuestra culpa propiamente tal, porque es posible que aplaquemos las punzadas de la conciencia.
