One of the major problems in the church if not the root of all problems in the church is "guilt", Guilt plagues the church. The church has no sense of righteousness. They say "I'm not perfect just forgiven." When you were born again, you are declared the same as your covenant head and that is "justified". You are brought into a "right standing" with God in Christ Jesus. We are welcomed into the family of God the same as Jesus is. "As he is so are we." We are not dribbling beggars, you never find Paul feeling sorry for himself or saying how bad he is and he was a murderer. Paul would say, you are complete in him, and we are seated with him in heavenly places. But if there is guilt, we live in a sense that we failed God, and now I feel I must try harder to please him.
