We just observed another Passover season, when we again seriously examined ourselves. Seeing our sins is humbling. Even with God's help we fall far short of the glory of God. Many professing Christians operate in either of two modes of thinking: (1) that God is so loving He does not care if we sin because once saved always saved; or (2) that God is very harsh and condemning. However, the truth is that when we are baptized, we are cleansed of all sin. After we are baptized, we still sin and can live under a dark cloud of guilt. Do not allow your heart to condemn you.
