Read The Power of Right Believing: 7 Keys to Freedom from Fear, Guilt, and Addiction for Free Online Page B

you have been forgiven and how unconditionally you are loved, it would be very hard for you to remain angry with your wife and keep up your end of the cold war. In fact, the opposite will happen.
    As you feed on the Lord’s beautiful love and lavish forgiveness even while you feel most undeserving, you’ll end up doing whatever it takes to reconcile with your wife. Not only that, but whatever upset you to begin with also becomes infinitesimally small when you allow your heart to be embraced by the largeness of His love. It’s no wonder the Word of God says, “Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her
” (Eph. 5:25, emphasis mine). You have no power to love your wife unless you have first experienced the unconditional love of Christ in your own life!
    In the same way, the Bible exhorts wives to “submit to your own husbands,
as to the Lord
” (Eph. 5:22, emphasis mine). Don’t you just love how practical the Bible is? We can so easily get upset over the smallest of things that arise in the minutiae of everyday domestic living. And it’s only as we believe and submit to God’s love that we let His love dissolve our fruitless frustrations over battles that are actually not worth fighting and find the strength to love, submit, and live in peace with our spouses.
    Can you see? Our hang-ups are like a drop of water in the vast, blue ocean or a tiny speck of sand in an immense desert when contrasted with the love of God. His love consumes all your anger, frustrations, disappointments, and pain. His forgiveness envelopsall your sins, failures, and mistakes. His grace gives you victory and power to overcome every sin, bondage, and addiction. That is why having a right belief about God’s unconditional love for you is so vital to your relationship with Him.
    His love consumes all your anger, frustrations, disappointments, and pain. His forgiveness envelops all your sins, failures, and mistakes.
    Completely and Irrevocably Forgiven
    Beloved, you are completely and irrevocably forgiven. Because of His love for you, Jesus has already borne the punishment for your sins. This is why you can receive God’s love afresh even when you fail and every time you fail. He has forgiven you. It’s time for you to forgive yourself too! Don’t for one moment think that He wants you to remain in guilt when you fail. The truth is,
the more guilty you feel, the more you are doomed to perpetuate that sin
. Unfortunately, there are religious folks who believe that when people fail or fall into sin, one needs to make them feel really bad about themselves and crush them with guilt and condemnation until they repent of their wrongdoing.
    But this teaching is erroneous. In actual fact, the more people remain in guilt and condemnation, the more they will continue in their sin! You don’t have to teach people to feel guilty and condemned. Their conscience condemns them whenever theyfail. But here’s the good news: God has provided an answer to the conscience that persistently calls for payment for all our transgressions. He sent His Son to ransom us with His own body and blood.
    You can receive God’s love afresh even when you fail and every time you fail.
    Today when your conscience condemns you and calls out for justice when you fail, see yourself cleansed, washed, and made righteous by the blood of Jesus. Activate your faith to see yourself righteous in God’s eyes because of the precious blood of Jesus Christ. The conscience, which calls for punishment every time you fail, has in truth been silenced by the blood of the Lamb of God, who was punished and judged in your stead. Every time your conscience condemns you, take out and wave the receipt of your payment—the cross of Jesus! Keep seeing your sins washed by His precious blood. Guilt and condemnation stop where the blood of Jesus has been shed.
    So when you fail, don’t wallow in guilt and condemnation. That will only bring you to a slippery
