"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

As human beings, we like to dwell on things in the past.  We are professionals at reliving past failures.  When we relive our past, we start a downward spiral into our own manmade guilt trip.  It's not a fun ride.  If we have accepted Jesus Christ into our hearts, then we are a NEW creation.  The old has GONE.  It's done with.  It doesn't matter anymore.  We don't need to worry about it.  When Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, along with that He took away the guilt for our sins!  Jesus hung there on the cross and said, "It's finished."  He really meant it!  Since the old has gone and the new has COME, we no longer have to worry about the past.  Whenever we feel guilty about past failures, that is Satan's feeble attempt to bring us down and make us question whether or not Jesus really did take it all away.  He did, no worries.  Don't give Satan the pleasure of bringing you down through guilt from past regrets.  Always keep in the back of your mind that Satan has been defeated.  Your guilt should be no more. So, let's stop taking steps backward into the past.  One day we will stand face to face with the one who took all guilt and regret away.  So, keep moving forward...
