The Evil One uses this trick very well on Christians! Guilt and Shame. Trust me I know, he sucker punched me everyday for years, made me feel guilty and shameful, this caused discouragement in my life which took me even further from my walk with our Lord Jesus Christ.
But now, as a mature Christian, I can honestly say, I don't feel guilty or shame for any sin I have ever done, past, present or future. I'm enjoying the perfect line of communication I have with our Father, through Jesus Christ. When new Christians learn that Jesus loves them 100%, unconditionally, they will not feel guilt and shame. It's real, genuine freedom in Christ. This is the love and joy we feel in any situation that comes our way.
Ok then, now that you no longer focus on your sins and Satan has no power to make you feel guilty or shameful, what's your next move as a Christian?
Meditate on this truth everyday! These fruits are the true measure of a Christian. (Not how little they sin.)
Galatians 5: 22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
PS, as long as we are in these earthly bodies, we will never be completely immune to sin (until we get our glorified bodies or atleast go to be with him in spirit). However, this doesn't mean that we do not have the power to stay in perfect love and communication with our Father, in Jesus Christ.
