“The tragedy of sin is not that you did something wrong, but that you left God”
The ultimate goal of Christianity is to know, follow, and worship God. The relationship between God and ourself is freeing, and intimate, and encouraging, and convicting, and purifying. It’s wonderful, and it’s terrible that many Christians, myself included, can turn our relationship with God into something that brings us shame and guilt. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, but instead of focusing on the love of God, many Christians use feelings of condemnation a motivator to live a holy life.
I pray we have the same attitude as Paul; “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.”
