What God Says About Guilt And Forgiveness. Part [6] 01/02/2026 (Morning thought)

Leviticus 6:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: 7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

This type of guilt springs from presumptuous sin and, should be avoided. However, God who delights in mercy has also made provision for this type of sin and guilt to be wiped away. David’s sin with the wife of Uriah was of the deliberate kind. David knew what he was doing when he sent for Bathsheba, and therefore, his transgression was all the more serious, for he thought about it, and then made the conscious decision to move forward with what he knew was wrong.

That’s the reason why later on in his prayers, he asks God to keep him from committing presumptuous sin so that he won’t be guilty of the great transgression, which is the grieving of the Holy Spirit… 2nd Samuel 11:3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? 4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.

Psalms 19: 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Matthew 12: 31 Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

What God Says About Guilt And Forgiveness. Part [5] 01/02/2026 (Evening thought)

Leviticus 4:22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty.

Leviticus 4:23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish…. Leviticus 5: 17 And if a soul sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he knows it not yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 4 Or if a soul swears, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

Then, the Bible addresses guilt that arises from the commission of deliberate sin, where a person knows full well what they are doing, and they do it anyway. This type of guilt is much more common than many folks realize, yet, God in His great mercy will forgive, once the prerequisites of confession and turning away are met…. Leviticus 6: 2 If a soul sins, and commits a trespass against the Lord, and lies unto his neighbor in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence or has deceived his neighbor;

Leviticus 6:3 Or have found that which was lost, and lies concerning it, and swears falsely; in any of all these that a man does, sinning therein. 4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found……

Leviticus 6:5 Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertains, in the day of his trespass offering.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
