sinned … yet God declares us ‘not guilty’ if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in
mercy freely takes away our sins.” Romans 3:23-34 [LB] “You were at one

life with Christ. God forgave us all
our sins; he cancelled the unfavorable record of our debts with its binding
rules and did away with it completely be nailing it to the cross.” Col 2:13-14 [TEV] The ONLY
way to remove guilt is through God ! |
