Ask Pastor John is one of my favorite podcasts, and I encourage you to listen to it. The following is an excerpt from the episode All My Sins Were Canceled — So Why Continue to Confess?

In the journal she kept throughout her cancer years, Nanci wrote these reflections about the healing Jesus accomplished on the cross: “I needed, and have received in full measure, a healing from my guilt and sins. No physical healing compares to complete spiritual healing.”

Randy points out Scripture that answers the question of whether or not there will be the opportunity to sin in Heaven.

许多年来，我常常收到信徒的信息，大概内容会说：「我无法原谅自己过去犯过的罪。我已经求基督的饶恕无数次，但是我却还是感到罪恶感，然后无法接受上帝的赦免。」

"Eu luto para me perdoar por um pecado passado. Clamei muitas vezes pelo perdão de Cristo, mas não parece resolver meus sentimentos de culpa nem aceitar o perdão de Deus".

How to handle sin in a God-honoring way isn’t often clearly addressed in the church. So what steps should I take in order to deal with sin? First, I must admit my sin to myself. I need to call sin what it is: sin, not just a mistake or a little slip.

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results, sin not only leads to insanity—it is insanity. In his book Life in Christ in 1 John, Martyn Lloyd-Jones shares these helpful definitions of sin, and why we must avoid it.

Scripture says we will sin and that we shouldn’t deny but should confess our sin, and celebrate the daily cleansing work of Jesus our Advocate. It also says the Bible is given to us not to make us sinless yet, but to help us sin less, to be sanctified now, anticipating the day we will be glorified and forever sinless.

I’ve received messages over the years from believers who say something along the lines of this: “I struggle with forgiving myself for a past sin. I’ve asked Christ’s forgiveness for it many times but can’t seem to resolve my feelings of guilt and accept God’s forgiveness.”
