Are Christians Meant to Feel Guilty All the Time?

An incredibly interesting, insightful, and helpful post from Kevin DeYoung here.

I encourage you to read the whole thing. Here I will post his four answers to the question, "Why do Christians feel guilty all the time?"

1. We don't fully embrace the good news of the Gospel.

2. Christians tend to motivate each other by guilt rather than grace.

3. Most of our low level guilt falls under the ambiguous category of "not doing enough."

4. When are truly guilty of sin, it is imperative that we repent and receive God's mercy.
