No More Guilt Forever!:

Peace and healing from the burden of guilt can only come from Jesus.  When the time had fully come, Heavenly Father sent Jesus, and the atonement of the world was accomplished.  “But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”  Galatians 4:4-5  This was Heavenly Father’s plan foretold long ago by the prophet Isaiah.

The vicarious work of Jesus Christ was the perfect guilt offering for all sins of all time.  Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament guilt offering.  All people throughout history are guilty before God, no matter how determined they are to keep their covenants.  However, Jesus took their guilt upon himself and suffered God’s wrath and punishment in their place.  The relationship has now been restored by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  No more sacred work needs to be done that is essential for our salvation.  By faith, we receive the full forgiveness of our sins and complete removal of guilt.

The Old Testament Israelite performed the Guilt offering to ease their guilty conscious and to remind them of the ultimate and final guilt offering to be made by the coming Messiah.  Click here to go to the parallel Old Testament article addressing Guilt Offerings.
