We're not built for guily by AD

Romans 6:6-10
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sinbecause anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Most times sin leads us to feeling guilty. And guilt makes us miserable and weigh down heavy on us. God never intended His children to be loaded down with guilt. That’s why He sent Jesus to redeem us from guilt. He bore and paid for our iniquities and the guilt they cause. As believers  in Jesus Christ we have been set free from the power of sin. That doesn’t mean we will never sin but it does mean that when we do, we can admit it, receive forgiveness and be free from guilt.
 
Our future has no room for our past. How much time do you waste feeling guilty?
 
It's important to think about this because spending time dwelling on past mistakes is something God has told us not to do.  The good news is Jesus came for those who are sick(imperfect), trust God that when you confess your sins He forgives you and sets you free from the power of sin, walk in that truth daily.
