Baggage
(Matthew 11:28 GW) “Come to me, all you who are
tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”
(Psalm 38:4) “My guilt has overwhelmed me like a
burden to heavy to bear.”
(Genesis 2:25) “The man and his wife were
both naked, and they felt no shame.”
(Galatians 5:1) “It is for freedom that Christ has
set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a
yoke of slavery.”
The Baggage of Guilt - When you have painful
regret.
(Acts 7:54-58) “When they heard this, they were
furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit,
looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right
hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of
Man standing at the right hand of God." At this they covered their ears
and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him
out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their
clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.”
(Romans 8:1) “Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
When you hold on to it.
(2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB) “Therefore, if anyone is
in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all
things have become new.”
When you donʼt allow God to forgive you and cover
your sins.
(2 Corinthians 12:9-10) “ʻMy grace is sufficient
for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.ʼ Therefore I will boast all
the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christʼs power may rest on me.
That is why, for Christʼs sake, I delight in weaknesses…For when I am weak,
then I am strong.”
(Romans 11:6 WEB) “And if by grace, then it is no
longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it
is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.”
(Romans 8:1) “Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Putting the Bags Down
1. It changes how you relate to people.
(Philippians 2:1-3) “If you have any encouragement
from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship
with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by
being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.”
2. It changes how you relate to God.
(Heb 12:2) “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the
author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the
cross, scorning its shame.”
3. It changes how you are used by God.
(Psalm 18:35) “You give me your shield of victory,
and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.” Thereʼs only
one thing you can do… Give all of your guilt to God.
