God’s forgiven you, but have you forgiven yourself? | moving on from sin, guilt, shame & regret

so many of us believe in the power of God’s forgiveness but still hold on to shame, guilt, and condemnation.

but that's a life of bondage because we can't truly recognise the gravity of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we now have in Him.

what i talk about:
✨ how unforgiveness of self is a rejection of God’s sovereignty
✨ the difference between conviction and condemnation (and how the enemy uses guilt to keep us trapped)
✨ the Old Testament vs. the new covenant of grace through Jesus
✨ why forgiving yourself isn’t about dismissing sin, but about surrendering it to God
✨ practical steps to release shame and walk in freedom

God’s forgiveness is final, sufficient, and complete. i pray this episode encourages you to embrace His grace fully and let go of the weight you’ve been carrying 💕

*scriptures i mention:*

_romans 8:1_ – "there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
_isaiah 43:18-19_ – "remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"
_psalm 103:12_ – "as far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us."
_2 corinthians 5:17_ – "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. the old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
_hebrews 10:14_ – "for by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified."
_isaiah 53:5_ – "but He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed."
_1 john 1:9_ – "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
_ephesians 1:7_ – "in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace."
_galatians 5:1_ – "for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
_joel 2:25-26_ – "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."
