Guilty but Forgiven

Sometimes I think it's hard for a Christian to forget the feelings of guilt. After all, we are all still sinners. In fact, I think we tend to anguish in it. Instead we should "rest" in God. Today I was reminded of this beautiful quote from Kierkegaard in his Journals. It goes like this:

"A man rests in the forgiveness of sins when the thought of God does not remind him of the sin but that it is forgiven, when the past is not a memory of how much he trespassed but of how much he has been forgiven."
