We often wrestle with the weight of our past mistakes, living in the shadow of guilt and feeling like we must constantly atone for our failures. The gospel offers a radically different message: Christ has borne our guilt and shame through His one perfect sacrifice, freeing us from the need to earn forgiveness. This freedom doesn't absolve us of responsibility but invites us into a life of sanctification, where we are transformed into Christ's likeness for the sake of others. Instead of operating out of fear, we are called to live in the freedom and love of Christ, choosing holiness as a joyful response to His grace.
