more thoughts on "guilt"

"Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue."- Eugene O'Neill

 I asked for your dialogue on these topics. Thank you for your response! And no, you don't sound like a "raving idiot". You sound like you've read your Bible and done your homework and are further proofing the case that guilt should have no place where total forgiveness has been sprinkled. Thank you, Joyce.

DeVerne Fromke in 1963 wrote a book titled "Ultimate Intention", which was revolutionary thinking at that time (Watchman Nee published same insights around same time).  The point being, all things, the Creation, the Fall, Redemption, et al, should be viewed from the God's eye view of the intention of the Father-Heart of God.  One small but incredibly significant impact of this way of relating is to view the work of the Blood from the Father's perspective, rather than our own. The picture we get of what the blood accomplishes becomes fantastic when we accept what God said about it in Exodus 12 and Leviticus 16.  He said when He saw the blood He would pass over... The blood satisfied Him (ergo, if it satisfies Him, then regardless, of what we feel, or think, we are to be satisfied!) Good. But, guilt attacks. We don't have to be confused, ask for further proof of our rightstanding whenever we screw up, He has said He is satisfied by the blood.  

In the picture of the Day of Atonement this God-fact was further reinforced.  The transaction took place between God and the High Priest, away from the people who were to benefit from it... Additionally, Romans 5:9 says we are justified by his blood, we have boldness to draw near (Hebrews 10). So we the believer say, "AMEN!" and draw near with confidence, in Him rather than in ourselves or what our godview tells us about ourselves.  Of course we still confess (1John 1-7), but it is a continuing cleansing accomplished by Jesus.  We either are going to choose to believe God, or our own version of Him.  I probably sound like a raving idiot.  Point being, Who are We going to choose to believe? Are we free or not, are we dead to sin, have we an exchanged life, are we part of the body, have we been translated from kingdom of darkness to kingdom of light, are we part of the family of God? Can you find the gist here?  We are to throw off that guilt.  When we do sin, all we need is sprinkled. He does it.  We accept  it. We rejoice in it.  It's that old saying "God said it, I believe it, That does it."- from Joyce Whittenberger
