Philippians 3v13 …Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

We sometimes let the guilt from the past rob us from the glory of the present and future. It is incredibly important to rest in the fact that Jesus took care of that guilt on the cross. Guilt tends to be a distinguished and immense mental battle for all and we must learn to combat it. The enemy uses this tactic to keep us from becoming the sons and daughters that Christ has empowered us to be. We must not listen to the deception of “I’m not good enough because of what I did,” that is simply not true. Our transgressions, past, present and future are covered, Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. He is the savior for all times. Through faith in Christ we are considered righteous in the eyes of God. How powerful is that?!? So let us forget our past and run to our eternal and beautiful future with Christ.

Romans 3v21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
