Many Christians live their lives dwelling on past missteps, fumbles, and purposely committed sins. Guilt and regret should be temporary feelings for those who trust in Christ. Though in your short time on earth, people and governments may point out and shame your past transgressions, you have been pardoned from them in the eyes of God for eternity. You may now live free of guilt, free to move forward with your best efforts to be the human God created you to be.
