There is one school of thought in modern psychology that undermines personal responsibility in wrongdoing. Its adherents claim that we are merely victims of our past and attempt to remove personal guilt. Although their intentions are good, in the end they do mankind a disservice. That's because we all have an emotional, psychological, and spiritual need to acknowledge guilt. The gospel clearly declares the guilt of men.
All men are personally responsible for their sins.
He suffered to set us free. It is available to all men who receive it. We are accepted by God because of our union with Christ. Yet so many believers continue to feel a sense of guilt or inferiority. That's because they don't have an adequate understanding of God.
