Guilt is the first consequence of sin. Condemnation and punishment follow as a result. That is the Scriptural order-sin, guilt, condemnation, punishment. We all have a conscience and we all feel guilt when we do wrong.

If we ever go to a court we will see the judge handing out a punishment for a persons crime. This is the way of most societies and those who have committed a crime will be punished. Scripture shows us that if we disobey God we too will be punished but unlike the courts God has offered us forgiveness. God tells us the punishment for sin is death but instead of us dying God has sent us His son to take our place.

On the cross Jesus took our place. We the guilty sinner should have died but God has offered the free gift of salvation through Christ. Because of Christs death God offers us forgiveness both from condemnation and punishment.

Right now you may be feeling there is something missing in you're life but don't really know what it is. Many people spend their life searching for a meaning to their life and find it in many ways. Drink, drugs, sex, gambling, money etc but the truth is most seldom find peace or hope in these things.

God offers us real hope that will last forever. The question is, are you ready to take Him up on that offer
